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.

Was great at first and now everything I cook sticks to the pan
Since day one I noticed that everything sticks to the pan and on low heat just as well. I have to use a lot of olive oil to keep it from sticking even a little! I cook food on super low, which just takes too long to get meals done for my family, aside how much food has gotten ruined from so many trials and errors. I’m so disappointed with this product!
blue diamond pan is junk eggs stick worse than my old pan, not like add
I bought my two pans and they were great at first, now everything sticks to them. You have to soak them for a couple of hours just to get egg off of it with using a cooking spray or oil. Very poor performance.
Bought my Blue Diamond Pan near Thanksgiving ’20. As of Feb 15, everything sticks! More difficult to clean than a cast iron pan! There is still a ghost of the stuck food after 15 mins of cleaning.
Waiting to hear back on this. I got these for Christmas and we paid good money for them. They are junk!!! I have cheaper pans that have last years over this garbage. I hope this goes through.
I am having the same issue. I bought my first pan which worked wonderfully for the first 2 months of use, now you cannot fry nothing in it without it completely sticking to the pan nd making it impossible to clean it or cook in it really. Unfortunately I bought a 2nd one after about a month of good performance so now I’m out nearly 80 bucks for 2 months of use for a skillet.
