of overcooking. In kmger exposures to overcooking, the fmd
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use rnicrowave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensiis to rnicrowaving. 3) Do not permit children
to
use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
