As far as cast iron goes, it's probably a far safer alternative than Teflon, stainless steel or aluminum.
Cast iron is not a non-stick surface. The non-stick properties they have are from seasoning with fats at high temperatures and are generally considered safe or harmless.
PS: This is a hell of a deal for a basic skillet and gets favorable reviews.

I can't subscribe to sending a piece of cast iron halfway around the world just to save $5 or whatever over a Lodge or any of the other American cast iron manufacturers.
Just because they look similar (which 95% of all cast iron skillets do) is no indication that they are the manufacturer.
Also their shape is not 'exactly' the same.
You can find the brand on Amazon. These pans had 4.5 stars, so I ordered both sizes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C2PH8JV

The entire sited doesn't even list these cast iron skillets undet their products, which is extremely odd, and the only mention of them is on their "Disclosures" page listing the MSDS related info.

I'd say these are either made in China or possibly South America (Coumbia) such as where Victoria cast iron cookware is made. More likely China tho.
Like this poster said, cast iron does not have any of this, so it's up to you which one you'd rather use.
Nonstick pans wear out within three months of usage and they're pretty bad if scratches. You can't avoid it not being scratch since the nonstick layer wears out after a while.
I use cast iron for frying or searing, stainless stew to make anything with broth and a wok to stir fried.
I've grown to really like it. I can almost get it to cook eggs non-stick. But it does take work to keep it clean and properly seasoned. Everyone seems to just say "cook bacon" and it will re-season. i have not found that accurate. I have to scrape the hell out of mine then actually re-reason. I dont know how just randomly cooking bacon gets rid of the small bits of stickyness.
I decided to use the cast iron for my meats and other items which i dont care if it sticks. I just use my non-stick pans for eggs/fish and other very specific items. Regardless, I will always supplement my cooking with cast iron from now on though.
