Dupont and Epa Statement Release Info

In summary, there has been recent news about emissions from the manufacturing process of Teflon® at DuPont facilities. However, DuPont has pledged to eliminate these emissions by 2015 and has stated that Teflon® coated cookware is safe to use. Scientific testing has shown that PFOA is not released from Teflon® non-stick cookware even under extreme cooking conditions. Pampered Chef encourages customers to continue using their cookware with confidence and for more information, they can visit DuPont's website.

Dear Executive Director,



I would like to address an issue that has appeared in the news recently regarding an agent used in the manufacture of Teflon®. The issue raised in the media relates to emissions from the manufacturing process at DuPont facilities, not to products with a Teflon® coating, like cookware.



Earlier this week Dupont pledged its commitment to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to eliminate the emissions of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from its Teflon® manufacturing facilities by 2015. Yesterday it was reported by the Chicago Tribune and other news agencies that both the EPA and Dupont agreed that consumers who use cookware with Teflon® coating can be confident that the products are safe to use.



On its website, Dupont reports that rigorous scientific testing has shown that PFOA is not released from Teflon® non-stick cookware even under some extreme cooking conditions. According to DuPont, studies show that even when cookware coated with Teflon® was scratched with a knife, no PFOA was detected under typical consumer use conditions.



We encourage you and your customers to continue using Pampered Chef Cookware with confidence. If you have any questions or would like more information, please refer to DuPont's Web site @ www.DuPont.com or www.Teflon.com.



Please feel free to share this with your downlines.



Thank you,



Rich Hlava

Senior Vice President, Operations
