TLDR: Looks like brominated flame retardants end up where they don’t belong when plastics from electronics get recycled into other things like toys and kitchen utensils.
Cooooool.. cool cool cool cool
So the most common spatula…
And the most common takeout dish. Ugh...
Anyone know on whether this is an issue within the EU as well?
