I was shocked and dismayed to hear about the recall notice on Emba Cookware issued on 13th March. (Full recall text below).

This means that, if you have an Emba pan, sadly you should cease to use it. 

I have asked for clarity on any potential health risks to people who purchased before the recall date, but haven't been given any further details beyond the recall notice. If you are at all concerned, Emba have asked that you reach out to them for further details at info@embacookware.co.uk

For refund applications, please contact us at contact@buymeonce.com so we can help.

All the best,
