  • It’s probably off gassing aromatics from the molded plastics parts. Anything aromatic (in an organic chem context) is possibly carcinogenic. Past that its semi-volatile phthalates and other possible additives and light volatiles that may be off gassing especially from the unit’s heat generation/dissipation.

    Offgassing testing is common (think new car smell…Yeah unfortunately that’s carcinogenic too, but we’re testing for stuff now). I’m pretty surprised they didn’t either invest in the right types of plastics that wouldn’t have potentially toxic emissions…unless they did and didn’t care until someone noticed and spread the word.

    Don’t wrestle with the pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

    Bad faith arguments, aversion to data, and generally the inability to admit that someone has a point that is based in fact doesn’t mean that the right is right. It’s a win at all costs mentality that doesn’t benefit anyone besides the ego of the arguer
