HexClad Cookware deceptively markets its HexClad cookware products as environmentally friendly and free of harmful chemicals, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiffs Khuschbu Didwania, Pratikkumar Patel and Benjamin Adams claim HexClad markets its cookware products as free of chemicals, despite coating them with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a type of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS).
The plaintiffs argue HexClad acknowledges that it coats its cookware products with PTFE, while marketing the compound as “safe and inert” and falsely claiming they are free of PFAS.
“It is therefore misleading for HexClad to represent to consumers that its cookware is free from PFOAs and all PFAS,” the HexClad class action states.
The plaintiffs want to represent a nationwide class of consumers who have ever purchased a HexClad cookware product.
HexClad greenwashes cookware products to take advantage of green movement, class action says
The plaintiffs claim HexClad is guilty of “greenwashing” its cookware products as a way to profit off a growing consumer desire to purchase “green” products, without “actually going green.”
“Greenwashers do not make notable efforts toward an environmentally friendly marketplace, certainly not to the extent that they frequently claim,” the HexClad class action states.
The plaintiffs claim HexClad is guilty of unjust enrichment, breach of express warranty and negligent misrepresentation, and of violating California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law.
The plaintiffs are demanding a jury trial and requesting injunctive relief along with an award of damages for themselves and all class members.
In March, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new rule aimed at limiting PFAS in drinking water.

yes, I do please add me
I bought a set of hexclad cookware from costco and used if for 4 years before the coating started coming off. At the time I bought it, I asked the sales guy if it had a PFAS non-stick coating – he said “no”. I ask if it was a ceramic material – he said “yes”. Stupid me, I could have found out he was lying by reading the box, but I took his word for it.
I have these pans please add me to class action
Me too
stop using these they are junk, they are junk food sticks to them
This is a frivolous lawsuit out of those idiots in California. There’s more toxic poison in your water bottles. You do know cyanide is used to produce plastic right?? Love my Hexclad!!!
Yeah, and people shouldn’t be using plastic either. These forever chemicals damage DNA. They make you sick even if you don’t feel it. Why are you defending a corporation that would just laugh at the fact that they succeeded in deceiving you?
How do I get included in the class action lawsuit?
Add me please
Please add me

No one will die or get ill using hexclad but people die of using oil and other harmful chemical so will you stop using those? Btw before you leave your house there are hundreds of helical you I hale just a thought I love ❤️ my hexclad have it for over 6 years
Ya know, that goes against literally all medical evidence to date right? These forever chemicals absolutely DO damage DNA. I dont understand why SO MANY people simp for corporations. The corporations are not going to give you money for defending them. They’ll laugh and enjoy the fact that they were able to deceive you.
Hello,
Saw a commercial on TV with Gorden Ramsey pushing HexClad. I purchased a set. I will stop using it since I saw your class action.
