Research conducted by a nonprofit called Toxin Free Future analyzed 203 black plastic products, discovering that a staggering 85% of them contained flame retardant chemicals.

Although it sparked significant concern among consumers, Schwarz emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and raw numbers behind claims of toxicity.
