If you’re checking this headline, it’s too vague to verify as written. The “tool” could refer to anything from a kitchen utensil to a cleaning implement, and I couldn’t find a credible expert source matching this exact claim.
A safer interpretation would be:
“Experts warn that certain everyday tools can become unsafe when they’re worn, damaged, contaminated, or used incorrectly.”
For example, reusable tools should generally be inspected for damage and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions; damaged equipment may need to be replaced rather than reused.
If you send me the next part of the article (or a photo), I can identify exactly which tool the headline is referring to and check whether the warning is legitimate.
