I still used Teflon pans in my house when I had birds. I just made sure they were never in the kitchen when I was cooking. And I was mindful to open a window if I was pan frying something in houses where my kitchen didn't have an exhaust fan.

Another reason I'm not worried about it....
 
I'm not trying to be a butt.... If people are worried about using heating pads don't do it.... I'm just starting that what I know about tephlon is that it's very stable and isn't supposed to be toxic at temps under 500 degrees.
Also if I had a heating pad that wasn't in good shape it would more likely be a fire or shock danger and would have been thrown away long ago.

Yup.... very difficult to achieve unless you burn the pan... or cook it in the oven.

The heating elements wont have wire in them... the connection to the heatin elements to deliver the electricity will. Say on Brinsea

brinsea will have HEat Tape which is littlerally a printed circuit board on Mylar... They use those printed heat tapes for reptile enclosure heat. To deliver eighty degrees it takes very very little energy... producing nothing near 500 degrees.

I was on the MHP site for a very long time. LOve the principal... but will be building my own out of materials that I know are: Safe, Fire Resistant, and Waterproof.

The only problem I've had with heating pad brooders is that occasionally a chick will get itself lodged between the frame and the pad. It's pretty rare for that to happen. Otherwise, I've noticed hundreds of happy chicks with a heating pad.
