disclosures

We're committed to customer safety

 

 

These disclosures are made in accordance with California AB 1200 and Colorado HB 1345.

​

The California Safer Food Packaging and Cookware Act of 2021 (or AB 1200), was signed into law on October 5, 2021. Among other things, this law bans paper-based food packaging containing PFAS chemicals. In addition, it requires cookware manufacturers to disclose the presence of certain chemicals in handles and food-contact surfaces and prohibits misleading advertising on cookware packaging.

​

Colorado HB 1345 was signed into law on June 3, 2022, and also requires the disclosure of PFAS chemicals in cookware handles and food-contact surfaces.

​

TECHEF nonstick cookwares (except Ceramic-coated CeraTerra Collection and ValenCera Collection) contains the following intentionally added PFAS chemicals for their nonstick properties: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene and propylene (FEP), and perfluoroalkoxy alkane polymer (PFA).

​

TECHEF products are not in violation of any state or federal safety regulations. Both AB 1200 and HB 1345 do not specify a minimal content level to trigger disclosures.

​

AB 1200 is a "right to know law" for the state of California that requires a disclosure if any amounts of AB 1200 chemicals on the authoritative list are intentionally added to the product.
