I thought this was stainless steel when I ordered it. It's not. I think it's carbon steel or something. From what I googled I guess it's not toxic. I wanted to contact the company about it, but they don't make it easy to contact them. There was a paper in that says "CONTACT US", but there isn't an email address and no phone number. There isn't even an address of the company. There is no email address, phone number, or address for the company either on the box either. Also, no website for the company on the paper or box. My gut says to return it. I'm not sure what to do. From what I found out it's supposed to be non-toxic. When I googled I did find a website for them I think, but I'm not sure. I found a contact page there and I did send a message. It seems like a red flag that this is a bad company because they don't give a phone number, email address, or anything. I definitely won't purchase anything more from them.
