If you have a pet bird, and cook with a new teflon pan, your bird may drop dead. I know this is true. My friend's annoying bird bought it because of this.

I know there's alot of enviro hysteria, but if using the product as intended can cause a bird to drop dead, it can be entirely healthy.

You beat me to the punch.

Oops. I forgot to mention that it doesn't take a cooking pan, either. Newer irons are also coated with teflon and can also kill pet birds.

A cast-iron frying pan is a more effective device.

Teflon coatings tend to be used on aluminum cookware, which is lighter and, thus, less lethal.
