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.

Food sticking to pan(s) after a couple of months of using, hard to clean. Very disappointed, waste of money.
We purchased 3 different size frying pans because of the claims that they would be non stick basically forever, they lasted about 6 9 months and now mostly everything sticks to them. We no longer use them at all.
Lies, lies and more lies. My Blue Diamond skillet starting sticking within months. I bought this Skillet as a dedicated fried and scrambled egg skillet. I followed all of the advice about using a light coating of oil or butter to cook eggs. I hand wash this Skillet using a mild dishwashing soap and a Scrub Daddy. The skillet stick so bad I no longer use it. It’s garbage.
My blue diamond large skillet did not live up to my expectations. I really thought this was going to be a really great pan. My pan sticks horribly. It is not scratched and I followed the directions for using the pan. It now has small areas of black that will not come off.
I loved the frying pans the performed great for a month Then slowly started sticking more and more I’m very disappointed in these frying pans
does not perform its most basic and critical function—to provide users with a nonstick cooking experience. I it with great regret that I threw my pans away. I spent a significant amount of money to purchase every size. I am seeking action to remedy this unacceptable situation
