Fine....: Generally speaking, cook ware made in the recent past are made with non-toxic materials. Unless you have a really old pot that is made with Lead, you should be fine. If the pot is relatively new but is flaking, it sounds like it is time to get a new pot. If any issues, you can always follow-up with your Doctor, best wishes.
