$2.5M HexClad cookware class action settlement

HexClad has agreed to a $2.5 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it falsely advertised its cookware as free from toxic chemicals, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).

The HexClad cookware settlement benefits consumers who purchased one or more eligible HexClad products between Feb. 1, 2022, and March 31, 2024. A full list of eligible products can be found on the settlement website.

HexClad is a cookware brand that sells a variety of pots, pans and other kitchen accessories. The brand advertises its cookware as “the best of both worlds,” combining the benefits of stainless steel and nonstick cookware.

HexClad customers claimed in the class action lawsuit that the company’s products are not as safe as they seem. According to the class action lawsuit, HexClad cookware contains toxic chemicals, such as PFAS and PFOA.

Plaintiffs in the case say they purchased HexClad cookware based on the company’s marketing that advertised its products as “PFAS Free,” “PFOA Free” or otherwise free from certain chemicals. In reality, HexClad cookware allegedly contains these chemicals.

HexClad’s false and misleading representations and omissions are material and are likely to deceive reasonable consumers, the class action lawsuit contends.

HexClad has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $2.5 million to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the HexClad cookware class action settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the number of eligible products they purchased and the amount they paid for these products.

Class members who purchased one eligible product can receive a higher pro rata share of the net settlement fund than class members who purchased multiple products. Exact payment amounts will vary.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Aug. 5, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the HexClad cookware settlement is scheduled for Sept. 15, 2025.

To receive a settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by Nov. 14, 2025.
