There's been a lot of concern, but as the good physicists at CERN tell us, according to current known theory, they couldn't create black holes at all... And even if they were wrong about that, they would never have time or mass to become stable... And even if they were wrong about that, they'd still be so small as to be harmless...
Like the rest of the varying schools of thought in modern physics, it's built on a lot of precarious assumptions and hokey religious interpretations of data. In short, a bunch of hooey. The good news is that, a bunch of hooey or not, the math tends to work out. That's basically how it works: We take the math we know works, form our nonsense interpretations, and refine our nonsense as we confirm things that were previously unknown. That's exactly the purpose of these experiments, in fact.
So don't worry: According to most of our divergent hypotheses about how the universe works, we'll probably be fine!
