Copper in large enough amounts that gets into your body is considered to be unsafe for your health.

However the copper that copper pans contains should not come off and get into your food unless you use metal utensils that scratch the copper pan.

But even then if you were to get a small bit of copper from the copper pan into your food then it would not be enough to cause you any health issues.

I've used copper pans for many years now for cooking foods and my mom used copper pans for years as well as my Grandma and we've never gotten sick from copper pans.

Even some houses have copper plumbing in them where water goes through and that's safe as well.

I wouldn't worry about it and I love my copper pans and never will get rid of them.
