It depends. Usually no, but if there are any mysterious disappearances in your area, a person that has recently bought large amounts of lye will certainly be questioned at least.

    Why would you do that? For getting the cast iron pan completely clean, just use oven cleaner or furnace glass cleaner. They contain sodium hydroxide and are meant to deal with burnt in residues.

    There is no reason to buy dry lye for that, leave alone a large quantity.
