What Williams Sonoma says and does about PFAS

We found no PFAS statement from Williams Sonoma itself. Its site carries a state disclosures page that points shoppers to cookware brands' own chemical disclosures. We found no PFAS lawsuit naming Williams Sonoma.

  • Regulatory filingWilliams Sonoma publishes a State Disclosures page that sends shoppers to each cookware brand's own chemical disclosure, in line with California AB 1200 cookware rules. The page lists brands including All-Clad, Cuisinart, KitchenAid and Le Creuset. Williams Sonoma, State Disclosures by brand (PDF) ↗

Sources checked September 30, 2026. A brand statement is the company’s own claim, which we report but have not verified. Our grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests.

Williams Sonoma is one of the brands we researched by hand for our record of what every brand has published about PFAS, where the same question is answered for each of them in one line.
