Danish consumer authorities say Fiskars and Eva Solo misled customers about their cookware. The companies claimed their frying pans were free from PFOS and PFOA chemicals. Both substances have been illegal in Danish cookware for years. Consumer Ombudsman Torben Jensen stated companies cannot advertise compliance with basic laws as a special feature. He explained all frying pans must already be free from these banned substances. Advertising this normal compliance misleads consumers about product benefits. The Consumer Ombudsman reinforced marketing rules to both companies in December. Both manufacturers then covered the original claims with stickers. But the new stickers created another problem according to officials. They repeated that products contained no PFOS or PFOA while stating packaging cannot mention this. This creates confusing messaging for shoppers. Consumer protection relies on clear, accurate product information. When companies layer explanations over original claims, it often complicates understanding rather than improving transparency. Both companies now face scrutiny for their packaging approaches during a period of increased regulatory attention on chemical safety in household products.
