About the HexClad Cookware Class Action Settlement
HexClad Cookware appealed to health-conscious consumers by marketing its pots and pans as non-toxic. The company claimed its products were free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), “forever chemicals” known for their harmful effects on the environment and human health.
The problem? HexClad Cookware coated its pots and pans in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a PFAS commonly known as Teflon. This discovery was a huge blow to the many customers who paid a premium for the cookware, believing they were making a safe choice.
One Source to Market (HexClad’s parent company) claims it did nothing wrong but has agreed to a $2.5 million settlement. Consumers who purchased HexClad products between February 1, 2022, and March 31, 2024, may be eligible to claim a share.

What is the Focus of the Lawsuit?
The class action lawsuit makes multiple serious allegations against HexClad Cookware, including:
- Breach of Express and Implied Warranties: HexClad broke its promise to consumers by knowingly mispresenting products as free from PFAS.
- Negligent Misrepresentation: HexClad claimed its cookware was non-toxic, metal-utensil safe, and free from harmful chemicals. The company knew or should have known these claims were false.
- Failure to Warn: HexClad should have known its products posed a health risk but failed to alert consumers.
- Unjust Enrichment: As unknowing consumers paid extra for the defective products, HexClad Cookware unfairly profited from its misleading claims.
The lawsuit further states that plaintiffs “would not have purchased the product or would have paid significantly less” for HexClad Cookware had they known it contained PFAS and other dangerous chemicals.
