Is ceramic cookware safe?

7 of the 18 ceramic cookware products we graded come back low-concern on our screen and 11 do not. Our grades are model-based assessments built from published materials, ingredient lists, certifications and brand disclosures, not laboratory tests, so they say what we can evidence rather than that anything is safe.
