1I'd like to think that the producers and advertisers named it such in the belief that it was a safe alternative, though after Dupont's willful recklessness and disregard of the harmful effects of teflon it's fair to distrust these companies.
Giving the benefit of the doubt, if they did believe it was safe then advertising it in this manner doesn't get negated by subsequent revelations. It does raise the issue about how thorough testing is, versus how they rush it to market to chase the dollar, and how lobbyists working for these countries can cause huge harm to the public.

I thought you had a load of typos, but apparently anent is an archaic word from my neck of the woods. No idea what "p v ~p" means.
