A class action lawsuit claims that Blue Diamond Enhanced Ceramic Non-Stick Pans are not non-stick, as advertised by The Cookware Company in TV and social media ads.
Plaintiff Elena Lamb claims that Blue Diamond non-stick pans fail to live up to marketing claims.
According to the Blue Diamond pans class action, consumers such as Lamb were deceived into paying a higher price based on these representations.
Blue Diamond cookware is a line of enhanced ceramic non-stick pans from The Cookware Company. The pans, which are heavily advertised on TV and social media, are reportedly coated with a ceramic, diamond-infused non-stick layer. The layer is advertised as being five times harder, four times faster and 10 times longer lasting than traditional non-stick coatings.
Lamb says these representations are false.
The class action lawsuit claims that Lamb purchased a Blue Diamond pan with the expectation that it would perform as advertised. Instead of an easy, non-stick experience, Lamb reportedly dealt with food sticking to the pan and a “messy and difficult” clean up process. She allegedly tried to cook an egg as directed on the label but was met with the same sticky result multiple times.
According to the Blue Diamond pans class action lawsuit, Lamb completely stopped using the pan due to its disappointing performance.
Consumer complaints reportedly express similar frustrations with the pans. Customers claim their Blue Diamond pans are not non-stick and even stick more than a regular pan. Other consumers say the pans are not durable and quickly accumulate chips and scrapes.
“Despite the myriad of nonstick representations made by Defendant, the Pan simply does not perform its most basic and critical function—to provide users with a nonstick cooking experience,” the Blue Diamond class action lawsuit claims.
According to Lamb, she and other consumers would not have purchased the products or would not have paid as much had they known that the Blue Diamond pans were not non-stick. The Blue Diamond pans class action lawsuit also claims that The Cookware Company knew their misrepresentations would drive purchasing decisions and increase profits.
“Defendant has voluntarily accepted and retained these profits and benefits, with full knowledge and awareness that, as a result of Defendant’s misconduct, Plaintiff and the Class did not receive Product of the quality, nature, fitness, or value that had been represented by Defendant, and that reasonable consumers expected,” alleges the Blue Diamond pans class action lawsuit.
Lamb seeks to represent a Class of consumers who purchased the Blue Diamond pans and a subclass of the same consumers from Florida. On behalf of this proposed Class, the Blue Diamond class action lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees.

We have two diamond hands and they’re horrible. In fact Nubia just used it again today you have to teach me how to get things not to stick. I told her use a different pan. Cast iron and stainless steel are much better than a blue diamond. they’re absolutely horrible and there’s not one spot on the pan that doesn’t stick
I purchased two Blue Diamond pans, after two months of use, they became very sticky.
Did the directions, no good now. Black spots in the middle all the time, only works around my edges of the pan still. So I have to use bacon grease like no tomorrow. And it doesn’t hold strength, for some how I also now have a small speck of a whole in the very middle of the pan. I prepare my pan at least once a month again and again. Just doesn’t hold up without the grease, and still medium set of heat set on top range.
I purchased this same pan and it is sticking now. It only lasted two months. It’s ridiculous!
My blue frying pan is sticking and I did everything that I was to do before using. Im very disappointed.
I have the set of pans
After third time using mine it started sticking used med heat like they said very disappointed
I purchased a 12-inch Blue Diamond Frying Pan from my local Canadian Tire Store in Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada, as a Christmas Gift for myself. I paid $39.99 plus 12% in applicable taxes. This frying pan has failed to meet my expectations and I’m sorry I ever purchased it. Apparently these Blue Diamond Frying Pans have a Lifetime Guarantee. I am a senior, my pan has been lightly used and never put in the oven. Everything sticks to it and I am very disappointed in its performance. I plan to write the CEO of Canadian Tire in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to see if they will issue me a refund.
Received the set as Christmas present after seeing the wonderful advertisement. They are awful; everything sticks in them!
Been reading all the comments on the Blue Diamond pans, all of which are absolutely true, I have no idea how they got the pan in the commercial to perform as shown , these pans are definitely “NOT” as advertised, I do not care about the law suit or need to be included, I’m sure this company will pay for their false, misleading sales …
I found this page when searching for why food stuck so much to my blue diamond pans. We can no longer use them due to food sticking so bad.
exactly what I was searching when I ran across this article…so disappointed.
