I didn't see a reference to Kapton in the linked report - are you sure?
I'm aware there was convern over the use of Kapton over a decade ago, but to my mind the only civil incident where it was an issue was Swissair 111. Even then the cause of this was improper installation of the IFE equipment, causing high-voltage electricity to travel where it was never supposed to go. If installed properly, Kapton shouldn't be an issue.
