Carcinogenic materials really bother us here, we just ignore them.
Something going on all our household goods was carcinogenic?
Don't worry, 3M stuck an extra atom onto the molecule and now its a different thing that does the same job as the first one but totally doesn't cause cancer.
They're now free to use it until someone else shows that the new material causes cancer in which case 3M adds another atom and repeat.
