From DuPont's website:
"Human health research on PFOA conducted to date has shown no known health effects.
Based on an evaluation of human health and toxicology studies, DuPont concludes that PFOA exposure does not pose a cancer risk or any health risk to the general public. There is no significant potential for exposure to PFOA from using products made with DuPont materials; hence, there is no risk to consumers."
....
"EPA and its Scientific Advisory Board are studying PFOA, not Teflonhahaha174;.
EPA and its Scientific Advisory Board are working to determine the health risks associated with exposure to PFOA through its presence in the environment. They are not examining the safety of consumer products sold under the Teflonhahaha174; brand. EPA's position: "EPA does not believe there is any reason for consumers to stop using any consumer or industrial related products." Visit the EPA web site for more information. [.pdf]
There are no documented cases of serious or long-term human health effects caused by exposure to fumes from heating cookware coated with Teflonhahaha174; to high temperatures."
...
"In the 40-plus year history of cookware coated with Teflonhahaha174; non-stick, there have been no reported cases of consumers contracting adverse health effects as a result of in-home normal cooking use. Cooks in more than 40 countries around the world have purchased billions of pots and pans with DuPont non-stick coatings for home and commercial use.
There is no scientific basis to support claims that cookware coated with Teflonhahaha174; non-stick causes cancer. There is extensive scientific data, including worker surveillance data, peer-reviewed toxicology studies, and expert panel reports that support this position. "
