To receive a cash payout from the $2,500,000 HexClad settlement, eligible class members must submit a valid claim form by November 14, 2025.

HexClad settlement claim forms can be filed online on this page. Alternatively, consumers can contact the settlement administrator for a claim form.

To submit a claim form online, class members will need to provide an Amazon Order ID or their unique claim ID and PIN, which are typically found on the settlement notice issued about the deal.

According to the settlement agreement, consumers who file a timely, valid claim form are eligible to receive a pro-rated share of the settlement fund, after deductions are made for attorneys’ fees, administrative expenses and service awards.

Per the website, individual HexClad lawsuit settlement amounts will depend on the total number of valid claims that are submitted and the amount each class member paid for qualifying products at the time of purchase. A consumer’s share of the settlement fund will not exceed what they spent on a covered item or items, the settlement agreement notes.

As part of the deal, HexClad has also agreed to stop advertising products as “non-toxic,” “PFOA free” or “PFAS free” if they contain polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)—the compound found in the non-stick coating of certain HexClad cookware—or any chemical in the PFAS family, the site adds.

The settlement received preliminary court approval on April 22, 2025. It is now up to the court to decide whether to grant final approval to the terms of the deal at a hearing on September 15, 2025.

The website says that HexClad settlement payments will be issued to eligible class members only if the deal receives ultimate court approval and after any appeals are resolved.

The HexClad class action lawsuit claimed the cookware’s representations were misleading to consumers, as, per the case, research shows there are indeed toxicity concerns related to the use of PTFE. Like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the chemical belongs to a family of chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are hazardous compounds linked to serious health issues and environmental harms, the HexClad lawsuit contended.
