Well, teflon is a "forever chemical" (PFAS) and the consensus seems to be it's not wonderful if it gets inside of you [1].

Silicone is a PFAS alternative and a little safer, but also not wonderful if it gets inside of you [2].

All of which is to say that your device should be OK as long as no one puts it inside them. AFAIK anyway.
