**BREAKING MATFER RECALL UPDATE**: Read the details about the pan testing and all of Matfer's answers to our questions here: www.unclescott... and view the latest update video here: • All Clear? Good News o...
*Previous Update* I just heard back from Matfer and here is the important news:
"We are presently preparing a set of communication to bring further clarity to this matter, and address all the concerns surrounding the report issued by the local (provincial) French consumer protection authority. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible, to share all pertinent factual information, and bring assurance to our customers that our Black Carbon Steel Fry Pans meet the stringent standards established by the French national consumer protection authority...
... We are also working with all appropriate French authorities on this matter to bring clarity to the circumstances surrounding this specific test that was carried out by the local (provincial) French consumer protection agency.
We are approaching this matter with a great sense of urgency. Our utmost concern is for the safety of our customers, and am confident we can present the facts that will bring much needed assurance to the public regarding the quality and safety of our products. Thank you for being the voice of concern, and for the questions you presented, which I know is on everyone’s mind. We will provide you with the answers to your questions as soon as possible. Thanks again for your patience."
They also asked for a little patience as they need to run all the communication through various teams, which I think is understandable.

*UPDATE 3:* What was the old Paul Simon song lyric about the sounds of silence? The call I was supposed to have with Matfer on Tuesday got moved to Wednesday morning, then they just didn't call. I hope they get in touch today. I really do understand they are in a bit of a hornet's nest at the moment, but at the same time, I really think it would help everyone to have more information and communication and I hope they get more details out soon. I will keep trying and updating as this all develops.
*UPDATE 1:* There is a new update pinned to the top of the comments section below.
*UPDATE 2:* Lots of people have been asking about whether they should use their pans or not.
My opinion is that right now, I think we're waiting for more info... the pans are not recalled in America and Matfer says they stand behind the safety of their pans. On the other hand, it seems the same pans are recalled in France and if they are dangerous there why are they safe here?
For me, I'm going to put my pans on the shelf and wait and see for a week or so... wait for more info to come out, and then decide to keep using them or not when we have more accurate/complete information.
Video Description
A French regulatory agency has issued a decree that certain Matfer Bourgeat black carbon steel pans have been recalled... in Europe. Does it apply to the USA and Canada too? Here is everything I know so far and the remaining questions to be answered. Is it safe to cook in your Matfer carbon steel pan? How much should you worry?
