Our Place Cookware Scams & Fraud: High Levels of Lead: Sub-Par Quality
Culver City, California
Our Place aka Our Place Cookware aka Lagom Kitchen sells supposed "non toxic" cookware & kitchen accessories which are, in fact proven to be, highly toxic and contain over 10 times the amount of lead and other contaminants than cookware not marketed as healthy.
Our Place aka Our Place Cookware aka Lagom Kitchen is a scam and fraudulent company headed by Shiza Shahidi and a list of other Middle Eastern operators who consider the public slightly more stupid than they themselves are.
Worse yet, Our Place aka Our Place Cookware aka Lagom Kitchen pots, pans, "Wonder Oven" and all other accessories and kitchen equipment are cheaply painted products that peel and chip either soon after purchase and use by unsuspecting consumers or just after the "warranty" period, which is only one year and which is liberally used by the Our Place aka Our Place Cookware employees to callously deny resolutions, replacements, and refunds to consumers (Victims) who have spent vast amounts of money on these overrated, overpriced pots, pans, blenders, air fryer ("Wonder Oven") and other garbage-grade items.
As if it was not terrible enough that consumers are defrauded and scammed by this shady company called Our Place aka Our Place Cookware, the staff and "customer service" representatives are cold, unreasonable, and hate customers.
And proof of the customer hatred and bad treatment, which is really abuse, is easily found on the Better Business Bureau page of Our Place aka Our Place Cookware, where the over 33 Official Complaints (And increasing by the week) are replied to with sarcasm, snark, and barely undisguised hostility and passive aggressiveness.
Of those many, many Official Complaints, none have been resolved other than the very few in which former customers had to file bank disputes.
Shiza Shahidi runs this scam company with disdain and hatred, very blatantly displayed and liberally used by her employees.
Kristina Wasserman is another hateful, rude, passive aggressive official of this shady, lowly company.
Kristina Wasserman, too, gives employees free reign to abuse customers and deny refunds and resolutions by snidely informing said customers (Victims of fraud by this company) that "Oh, my oh my, you're just 12 hours out of the warranty period. Ooooh, we'll have to deny your request for a replacement or refund for those pans that have chipped paint and handles that gave you third-degree burns when you handled them according to directions."
Our Place aka Our Place Cookware is more of a small scamming business than a real company.
Any item or product purchased causes deep burns even when handled properly and according to directions.
Additionally, the cheap spray paint on the products chips and fades only days, maybe weeks after even the most careful use.
As for influencers who have recommended this company and its trash-made products, thier "recommendations" should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.
Influencers are paid to lie.
And this company or, rather, business, is a complete lie.
If you are searching for actual non-toxic cookware and eating ware and other kitchen equipment, look no further than well established companies such as William Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Crate And Barrel and other such luxury brands that sell but also stand behind their claims and statements, honor warrantees, and do not scam consumers with fake marketing, phony influencer claims, and other lies as Our Place aka Our Place Cookware scams the public.
