Did you catch the part that most of the plasticware had zero flame retardant?

Rather they were just a few outliers that completely threw the average off?

Wasn’t that most didn’t contain flame retardants recycled from electronic devices?

The problem isn’t the flame retardant but the source and for black kitchen utensils they sometimes used old plastic from TVs and such

Is this really clear from the study? Which utensils are made from black ABS and actually end up touching food? The lid of a blender maybe? It can't be anything that gets hot.
