I believe that in order for teflon to be a problem, it needs to heat way 
beyond the temperature your electric appliance would ever get, like 
leaving an unattended pot on a burner or in the oven on "broil" so I 
don't belive you are in any danger.  I have 7 birds in the room next to 
the kitchen and use teflon pots and pans all the time with no problem
