This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn't be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?

The electric heating pad I sleep on. I wouldn't be surprised if some study finds that something about sleeping on wires would be kinda bad long-term. Maybe something about residual currents or the minimal magnetic field from the wires, idk

    The fireproofing chemicals are pretty bad for you.

    I haven't been able to use one of these since I used a crummy one about 12 years ago and got burned, but it was so insanely nice to be so toasty.

    Yeah, that's very valid! I'd like to think that the technology got safer in the past years, but honestly I don't even wanna check and risk having to give up the coziness
