Teflon's sticky situation

Looks like something finally stuck:

Environmentalists have called for the withdrawal of a chemical which is a key ingredient in the manufacture of Teflon because of growing health fears. […] At the same time, DuPont is facing another multi-million dollar lawsuit from the US environmental watchdog for allegedly failing to disclose the results of secret water tests in 1984. It faces being fined $27,000 for every day since 1984.
