Gotham Steel Pro Pots and Pans Set Nonstick 13 Piece Hard Anodized Kitchen Cookware Set at Amazon for $99.99. (Average Amazon price ~ $150)
Set includes – 8" skillet, 10" fry pan, 12. 5" fry pan, 1. 5-quart sauce pan with lid, 2. 5-quart sauce pan with lid, 3-quart chef's pan with lid, 3-quart sauté pan with lid, 6-quart stock pot with lid
Please note – this set is not compatible with induction stovetops. (The Costco Gotham Steel Pro set is compatible with induction. The Costco 8 pc set is currently $99.99 and the 14 pc set is $149.99)

UPDATE: Please be aware that these pans are VERY different from the 8-pc Gotham Pro set sold at Costco that is induction ready. The bottoms of the pans are NOT durable and scratch easily. I posted this deal, but now I would recommend NOT buying these pans. The 8 piece set at Costco is much better quality than this one. The 14-piece set at Costco currently on sale in December 2022 is just a repackaged version of this lower quality set with an additional baking pan. In my opinion neither this set nor the 14 pc set sold at Costco are worth buying. Sorry, this was not a Slick Deal.

Nevertheless, the Gotham Steel Pro pans sold a Costco are actually quite good if you use them correctly. The ceramic non-stick coating works well and they feel solid. The Costco version of the Pro pans also works with induction as they have steel embedded in the bottom of the pan. We have had a pair of pans that have lasted for 3 years and are still in perfect condition. (We bought them on sale as an impulse purchase and figured if they weren't good we could return them.) There are some caveats. You need to be careful to only use medium heat or lower and only use wood, silicon or plastic utensils. Never use metal utensils - coated or not. (How safe plastic utensils are for humans is another question.). Cooking with stainless is the opposite where if you don't heat up the pans sufficiently before added food the food sticks.
These Gotham Steel pro pans appear to be identical to the Costco pans but the bottoms are just aluminum without the inlay of steel so they won't work on an induction cooktop.
The regular version of the Gotham Steel pans are quite thin in comparison to the Pro line. They appear to have the same ceramic coating as the Pro version but due to how thin they are it is harder to not overheat the pan. If you overheat the pan one time, the non-stick coating is toast.
We have a set of stainless steel Caphalon pots and pans that we bought on sale at Costco about 4 years ago that have been great. They are the signature line and I believe they are on clearance sale for $250. The set was normally about $400 at Costco and more elsewhere. A set which looks identical is currently being sold by Caphalon for $600. I would expect these pans to last indefinitely. There are sometimes however when a ceramic non-stick pan is simply easier to use than stainless steel (e.g. eggs) and acidic foods like tomato sauce can damage stainless steel.
Caphalon now also makes ceramic lined pans. We have no experience with those.

The concern with health was from cooking at higher heat than any non-stick pan is supposed be used on, and the process that was used at one point(maybe still?) to make the pans would produce PFAS.
For example, if you received a non-stick pan(s) as a gift, there is no known health issue with continuing to use them as opposed to ceramic or cast iron.
Almost every house in the US has teflon in it in some form.
