I would have to say no this isn't common. I use mine all the time and haven't had any problems. Maybe she put it in the dishwasher by mistake, I don't know if that would cause that or not. I only hand wash mine. As Beth has said if it's still under warranty do an adjustment for her.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it common for the coating to come off my Pampered Chef mini-muffin pan?
While it's not typical for the coating to come off, some users may experience this issue due to improper use or care. Factors such as high heat, metal utensils, or abrasive cleaning methods can contribute to the coating wearing off over time.
What can I do to prevent the coating from coming off my mini-muffin pan?
To prevent the coating from coming off, avoid using metal utensils and opt for silicone or wooden ones instead. Additionally, do not use high heat settings when baking, and always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
How should I clean my mini-muffin pan to maintain its coating?
It's best to clean your mini-muffin pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch and damage the coating.

If you notice the coating coming off, it's advisable to stop using the pan to avoid any potential health risks. You can contact Pampered Chef customer service for guidance on replacement or warranty options.
