What Kitchenaid says and does about PFAS
KitchenAid says all its cookware is PFOA-free and its bakeware is PTFE and PFOA free. PFOA-free is narrower than PFAS-free, and we did not find a raw-text brand statement covering all cookware lines. A law-firm investigation into KitchenAid and Anolon PFOA-free claims closed without a filed suit that we could find.

- Brand statementKitchenAid describes its green pan ceramic-based coating as PTFE/PFOA-free in the same glossary. KitchenAid Product Help, Glossary of Cooking Terms ↗
- Brand statementKitchenAid's nonstick cookware care page says the cookware has a PFOA-free nonstick surface and names Meyer Corporation as responsible for its production. KitchenAid Product Help, Cooking with Nonstick Cookware ↗
- Legal caseClassAction.org says attorneys investigated whether KitchenAid and Anolon cookware advertised as PFOA free may contain PFOA. The page lists the investigation as complete, and we found no filed class action or outcome. This is an attorney's belief, not a court finding. ClassAction.org ↗
- Legal caseMeyer Corporation, whose brands include KitchenAid cookware per Modern Retail, is a plaintiff with Groupe SEB in a February 2026 false advertising suit against Caraway over its claims that PTFE cookware is toxic. KitchenAid is not the defendant. Caraway's motion to dismiss was reported as pending. Modern Retail ↗
