What Anolon says and does about PFAS
Anolon’s own California AB 1200 disclosure says its hard anodized nonstick cookware contains intentionally added PFAS, naming fluoropolymer, PTFE, FEP and PFA, and says the PFAS is there for its nonstick properties. A 2023 class action alleged that Meyer Corporation, which makes Anolon, marketed the cookware as PFOA-free while the plaintiff’s own testing reported PFOA in it. We found no ruling.
