Seriously, off this new pan we got this warning, with this reasoning:

"Birds' respiratory systems are sensitive to many kinds of household fumes, including the fumes from extremely overheated non-stick pans."

What? What an odd "Caution" to have. Why not "CAUTION: For safety, please don't allow your 4 year old son to cook his GI Joe figures in this pan."

On edit, thanks to a couple DUers, I see that this is an actual honest to goodness issue. I thought it was a bad translation or stupid addition.

No shit:
