> I just spoke with Caphalon, a division of Dupont, maker of cookware products.

They told

me that PFOA is not in their non-stick Teflon products. What PFOA is is an acid

that is

used for manufacturer of teflon products, not in the finished Teflon product

itself, and is

directly used in carpets, cleaners and different textile products.

> Now, I am not saying this is true or not, just relaying a phone conversation

with

Calphalon.

>

> As PFOA is used in tons of other consumer products, that most of us use, I

am wanting

to look into this more thoroughly. If anyone here has any information or links,

especially

to research or any public releases from FDA, EPA, or scientists, would you

please post

them or email them to me privately? I am hugely concerned.
