Microwaves: the heat is on - microwaveable packaging & cookware may be releasing harmful substances into food - includes related information

Nearly three out of four U.S. households have microwave ovens. Ask their owners if they're comfortable using them, and most will probably admit to being a little uneasy.

You could burn yourself. You could get food poisoning. But you already know that.

Well, here's something you probably don't know. The containers and packages you microwave with-your cling-wraps, special "browning" packages, and even your "microwave-safe" cookware all could be releasing potentially harmful substances into your food.

Amazingly, many of these products are exempt from government regulation.
