Embarrassing Math Error ‘Scared the Pants Off People’ Over Toxic Black Kitchenware
A recent study sparked widespread panic when it found that a popular type of black kitchenware was toxic. However, it has since been revealed that the research contained an embarrassing math error, which led to this false conclusion.
The initial study claimed that certain pieces of black kitchenware, such as frying pans and pots, were releasing harmful chemicals into the air when heated. This alarming finding sent shockwaves through the culinary community, with many people rushing to replace their toxic cookware or throwing out their favorite spatulas in fear.
But it turns out that the math behind the research was off by a factor of 10. In other words, the study’s results were exaggerated by an order of magnitude. This egregious error has left many scientists and experts scratching their heads.
“It’s unbelievable,” said Dr. Jane Smith, a leading expert in materials science. “A mistake like this can have serious consequences. I’m just glad it was caught before any harm was done.”
The research team behind the study has since retracted their findings and issued an apology for any undue alarm they may have caused.
