The math error was in the order of 10x the actual number.
So I don’t feel there is any need for me to throw out perfectly good utensils that are not in contact with food for prolonged times.

I’m not throwing out any of my cooking utensils. If something’s going to kill me, it’s not going to be black plastic kitchen utensils.

I have enough of my other kitchen implements I didn’t need those two anyway. Somehow, the tools seem to secretly multiply when we aren’t looking.

For those looking for wooden utensils, I have this set and have been pleased with it. I throw them in the dishwasher on the third rack with silverware. If a wooden spoon is solid wood and is not varnished, it can be washed in the dishwasher that doesn’t use extreme heat to dry dishes.

I have bought a lot of good & well-priced cooking utensils from Ross. Many are good brands and olive wood is sturdier than unknown wood varieties.
Thank you to everyone who responded! I was not aware of the math error - Geez!
More and more I am becoming hesitant about plastics. I don’t heat them in the microwave although I continue to store leftovers in those rubbermaid/tupperware type containers. I have bought more glass storage when the plastic ones break.
I don’t typically keep a utensil in a pan, because no matter what they say, the DO melt eventually. That is why I like wood, you can leave it in a soup pot etc. I have left them in a saute pan and the wood has actually blackened though.
I like having matching utensils, although with our kitchen reno, I added a slide out utensil drawer (see sample photo) so I guess that doesn’t matter any more!
