  • This is what im vaguely aware of: There have been several lawsuits against ceramic non-stick pan brands, most notably a recent $2.5 million class action settlement with HexClad, which faced claims of false advertising about the presence of toxic chemicals like PFAS and PFOA. Additionally, a class action lawsuit against Blue Diamond, filed in 2020, alleged the pans were not as non-stick as advertised. A similar suit against GreenPan was filed in 2019 but was ultimately dismissed.





  • PTFE is considered a PFOAs molecule by ROHS3 and you can’t use it in new design. I know this because I design stuff that occasionally may need high temperature plastics or other solids. The stuff is inert but its not good for you as the other commenter mentioned. Once heated to 500F or 260C, it may release toxic fumes that can cause flu-like symptoms, liver damage, cancer and disruption in development of kids.




  • That particular Teflon cooking pan… I hit mixed feelings on it. I’m using it with wooden utensils only because I didn’t want to eat Teflon anymore but I did want the non stick.

    Anyway, that finish seems to protect the Teflon, but its like a file or sandpaper for any utensil. So I’m slowly eating my wooden spoon.

    Its just a beam splitter thing I 3D printed. I’ve been trying to sell my prototypes on eBay but no one wants to pay $25 bucks for some mirrors and countless hours wasted designing :)

    There’s a community called crosseyedview where I posted samples. I’m mid projects but I’ll keep posting some more there.






  • I go to bed at 8. So if you all did the same we wouldn’t need to worry.

    But you don’t, so I am very worried. I married someone who is incredibly unaware of caring about news. To the point that they would have gone on a cruise to Jamaica last week for the music and dancing. Completely clueless person. The moment I say anything like “we should cancel because…” Or “maybe we should avoid the area due to the largest, most powerful hurricane ever” she goes crazy berserk on me.

    Good luck to you all, I’m going to be a stained sidewalk and or wall somewhere. Hopefully somewhere important so passersby will know it was me who perished there…me, the stain of the sidewalk man ofcourse. Unless maybe I carry my information engraved in a quartz tablet with me at all times!
