"However, we miscalculated the reference dose for a 60 kg adult, initially estimating it at 42,000 ng/day instead of the correct value of 420,000 ng/day. As a result, we revised our statement from 'the calculated daily intake would approach the U.S. BDE-209 reference dose' to 'the calculated daily intake remains an order of magnitude lower than the U.S. BDE-209 reference dose.'"

Seems innocent enough, and those are the kinds of silly mistakes we do, whether in industry or somewhere else.


Keep your kitchen utensils folks, and don't add to the waste stream.

Even the black ones.
