Why can't I buy the old rubber sink mats anymore that don't have microban in them or are made of PVC. Both are a cancer causing agent!

I would like to know this also! Oh, but things are getting so much better, don't you know. They have to cater to lazy and dumb people who can't clean their things properly - that is why.

Just make sure that you order the Super Mats Heavy Duty PVC 2.5' x 5'. I would recommend against any Body Solid mat. They were horrible to deal with on the return, gave me the run-around, and charged a restocking fee. I was glad to pay it just so that I didn't have to deal with them anymore.

I don't know if it's different than the oven liners, but I don't think the size is appropriate and you can not cut it to fit-the fibers would fray & escape the silicone making it useless. Also, it's meant to be used and washed clean otherwise it will stain. If you have an electric oven, the element would be too close and the little feet the element stands on would score the mat. Try the Spillmat as someone else suggested.

20 or more years ago I believe products were available . Since then many volatile solvents have been banned for environmental reasons. This removed many 'quick fix' solutions from the market. I recently tried to find 'boot goo' or some such; just not there?

These mats are made from PTFE which is not synthesized from BPA, also PTFE is an approved cooking surface by the FDA on temps up to 500 degree F.

I just checked the packaging and it didn't say BPA free anywhere that I could see. I'm not sure how much this matters with it being a floor mat but I always make sure the kids eating utensils and drinking cups are BPA free.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

The mat is freee from phthalates, latex, & silicone. It is a blend of high-grade PVC and jute. While it doesn't say rubber free anywhere, PVC usually replaces rubber in other applications. I am allergic to latex but haven't experienced any reactions on this mat. I really enjoy it for my hot yoga practice. Hope this helps!

Does anyone else see the irony here? 5% of the sales from these gloves will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation yet they are treated with Prop 65 which causes cancer! Seriously?!! I wanted to buy these gloves, but now I absolutely will not. My small statement. Get rid of the chemicals in our world!!!

I am a physician with some publc/industrial health experience and I am aware of no serious studies linking casual contact with these various petrochemicals with any health risk whatsoever. You are just about as likely to get cancer from the naturally produced aflatoxins in your peanut butter. Life is hazardous in itself, always leading to death and I think I can live with this level of sdditional risk. I would add that the warning label may refer to various paint /finish components which could include aromatic hydrogrbon residues and heavy metal (mercurial) hardening/curing accellerants. These finishes may contain cadmium or lead pigments, etc. I wonder why decks aren't required to have warning labels about the real threat of arsenic exposure they pose?

if you like to give your baby abnormal brain growth or possibly cancer, sure go ahead...read this article, including near the end where it talks about BPS and other chemicals in plastics that are BPA-freehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/11/plastic-container-microwa_n_6847262.htmlI always stick with glass and lead-free ceramics for baby food

No. However, the Dove men's deep clean body wash (red bottle) DOES contain plastic microbeads. Look for the word "polyethylene" in the list of ingredients. That's what those little plastic beads are made of. I think those plastic microbeads will be removed sometime in the near future because everybody now knows that they are polluting our water sources. Plus fish are swallowing them. I'm certainly in no mood to eat tuna that's got little plastic beads in them!

I have no idea other than the seller. You might take the damaged piece to places like Home Depot, Lowe's, local hardware, and plumbing supplies stores to see if anyone carries pvc in that size.

not at all clear to me why Amazon forwarded this question to me, I guess Amazon's software can't apprehend that I only once used the mat and it was contaminated with clearly toxic chemicals.No, Silpat never sent me a new one after arranging for me to send in the contaminated one.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

We don't know; you could try it. If you're concerned about carcinogens in the plastic, suggest you inquire of the manufacturer about that.
