The makers of America's nonstick cookware are none too pleased about a new law that will bar them from using carcinogenic "forever chemicals."

      Are we reading the same article? It doesn’t say it’s bound to the pan. Why bother to choose a source that you don’t read and disagrees with you?

          I’m out of my element here but my understanding is that the chemicals in the FDA article are not the non stick layer, it was used in creating it and is bound to it. While I wouldn’t suggest eating it (the coating) and can be harmful when heated to levels uncommon (but not impossible) in a kitchen environment there’s no proof that teflon dishes can increase the chance of cancer.
