I've moved away from teflon products not because they're a particular health risk (though they do outgas above 300F) but because of that company's work ethic, which is one of lies, deceit, and greed. I encourage everyone to try out hard-anodized aluminum instead of teflon when you can, as it's much more durable and (usually) doesn't benefit such an underhanded company.
