would it matter to you if despite your healthy cooking and healthy eating habits, you may be eating out of cooking utensils that are not healthy or safe for use and you didnt realise it?
I take great care when purchasing cooking utensils. It isn’t just the cost that is important, but quality, what it’s made of and where it comes from. Personally, I avoid aluminium.
Everything is washed and rinsed thoroughly and once an item is damaged it’s replaced and if possible, the old one is put to use where health is not an issue.
There’s hardly any point in preparing a healthy meal and serving it up on a chipped plate that’s harbouring deadly germs. Common sense

All my knives, utensils, boards and prep areas are washed and sanitised more than once a day.

I only use high quality cooking utensils, along with pots and pans. I’m a very good home cook, I would never use shoddy equipment to create my dishes or to store them in.
In addition, my work areas and equipment are wiped down and sanitized before and after I work. They have to be, I am immune-suppressed and can’t tolerate or fight off bacteria and germs.
Though the way your question is worded, if a person didn’t realize something wasn’t safe then how could it matter to them?

You are kidding, are you not? Who would just just run willy nilly to the store and buy anything without checking it out first? And anyone with a brain knows that any chemical could cause a problem, leach into our food.
The same utensils can also keep us healthy. did you know that cooking in cast iron releases a small amount of iron into our food, iron is essential to human life . Doctors actually recommend this to chronic anemics.
Excuse me, I have to go put a teflon skillet in a 500 degree oven for a few hours, then cook with it.
and if I did not know the item was unsafe, and gee, you were not here to warn me, why would I be concerned?

you should regularly buy new cooking utensils if they become old and cracked up…its in the cracks that the bacteria fill up…
