The report to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs
http://www.waptac.org/sp.asp?id=7190
did not find evidence of a risk.

You have not provided a link to a reputable source documenting the risk

Or the risk of K&T.

Or that rubber insulation burns at a low temperature.

Just more FUD.
