A class action lawsuit claims that E. Mishan & Sons Inc.’s Gotham Steel cooking pans are not non-stick, despite advertising to the contrary.
Carl Mack and Alec Gable say they each purchased pans made by the company specifically because they saw advertisements that the pans were non-stick.
Mack claims he relied on the packaging of the product and the TV advertisements to make his purchase, which both marketed the product as non-stick.
Allegedly, the commercials for the pan advertised that no butter or oil was required.
Mack says that he used the pans without oil or butter, consistent with advertisements for the product. However, food allegedly began sticking “severely” to the pan within a month of Mack’s purchase of it and he stopped using the pan.
Gable says he purchased two pans from the Gotham Steel website in 2018. Allegedly, he decided to purchase the pans because, like Mack, he saw advertisements showing that they were non-stick.
Gable claims that after two uses, he began cooking with butter and oil, but even the use of butter and oil did not prevent the food from sticking. Allegedly, the pans were “often caked with black burn marks” and Gable got rid of the pans after about a month of use.
The Gotham Steel non-stick pans class action lawsuit says that Gable and Mack’s experiences are common to many customers even though they used the pans as directed.
The Gotham Steel non-stick pan false advertising class action lawsuit says that E. Mishan & Sons Inc. knew or should have known that the pans were not non-stick as claimed, citing numbers customer complaints about the issue.
Allegedly, E. Mishan & Sons Inc. violated the New York General Business Law, which prohibits “deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any business, trade, or commerce or in the furnishing of any service” in the state, and also prohibits false advertising.
The customers say that they were financially injured by E. Mishan & Sons Inc.’s misrepresentations of the Gotham Steel pans because had they been aware that the pans were not actually non-stick, they would not have purchased the pans or would not have paid as much as they did for them.
The non-stick pan class action lawsuit aims to hold the company liable for breach of express warranty, among other claims.

Same here. High temp avocado oil won’t even prevent eggs from sticking. How do I enter this class action lawsuit or is it too late?
I bought my 10 PC set from Walmart after watching ads on TV for these pans that aren’t supposed to have any thing stick the first week food was stick8ng to these pans I’m going to contact the company to see how they want to handle the negative situstion
I bought 4 for my restaurant a month ago and already thrown out 2 because everything burns and sticks. False advertising is an understatement
We bought a set of these pans because they were none stick and not supposed to scratch and they have done both —- I have three pans that have scratches inside now and I only use them on the stove top and use basically teflon utensils — I wouldn’t even try to use my hand mixer like they advertise either
Ya and don’t bother to buy those blue diamond Non scratch either. They also lie
Junk
Very much junk. They scratch very easy. They are Crap. Agree
Gotham products made in China! Need say more?
I bought the Gotham Electric Smoke-Less Grill, It’s not smoke less also food sticks hard to come clean meaning removing stuck on burned food. Only had it for 6 months.
Same here, I purchased them and everything sticks. A waste of money
I purchased two Gotham copper pans, a large fry pan and smaller square fry pan and both started sticking after less than a month’s use. It gets worse and worse. They also have black marks. I bought them because of the advertising which turned out to be false.
I bought the pans used it twice I was scrambling eggs ran to get the door the eggs burned and left black marks all over the pan that won’t come off needless to say I’m not happy
The lids do not come clean in the area around the metal
I bought the whole set but they don’t tell you in
Advertisement that they don’t come clean in the dishwasher. Really in this day and age who washes pot by hand. I have canned these pots and bought something else that is great
