I'm not surprised at all that no link has been provided. I can't find anything about a new refrigerant either.

GM *did* make a change back in 2012 that was controversial at the time. According to articles that google found, GM switched to the R1234YF refrigerant that other manufacturers found to be too dangerous. Perhaps this is the highly toxic refrigerant the poster was referring to. It is currently available from Walmart and Amazon.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
