The short answer

Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The non-stick part of the pan can separate forcefully and be propelled when the pan is preheated, used on high heat, or used for frying, deep-frying or braising. This can pose a serious burn hazard from hot oil or food contents spilling onto consumers.
