A class action lawsuit claims that E. Mishan & Sons Inc.โs 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.ย
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 โseverelyโ to the pan within a month of Mackโs 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 โoften caked with black burn marksโ 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 Mackโs 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 โdeceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any business, trade, or commerce or in the furnishing of any serviceโ in the state, and also prohibits false advertising.
The customers say that they were financially injured by E. Mishan & Sons Inc.โs 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.

everything sticks from day one
butter or canola oil doesnโt help
Everything stuck from day one.
I bought these pans not even a year ago and everything sticks.
Canโt even fry an egg without sticking. Iโm have an iron skillet that sticks less waste of money
I purchased a full set of these pans and they do stick after use within the first 30 to 45 days. The only ones that dont are the ones i use to boil or steam stuff. I want a full refund from this BS. Totally false advertisement!!
I purched a full set of these pans and they are not what they say they are. Oh I thought maybe I was cooling at a to high temp. No eggs stick real bad cooked on low as well. Not happy at all with this brand. I guess I will have to go back to using butter or oil like I did with the old cast iron pan. Might have a better outcome.
I bought April 6th 2022 expecting all the pans to last me the rest if my life they are from the first use have peeling and scratches and are not durable or long lasting I regret bying them and would love to be refunded 239.00 so I can buy chef pans that are reliable not these gotam steel pro and there is no way to contactnto return since April now there for Dale at home depot Walmart all over donโt buyer beware they are not durable they are not as advertised!!!!
I just paid 199.96 for these pans and now I reading this. I plan to hand wash before use and use tonight to cook dinner. I was planning to throw out my other pans but sounds like I need to hang on for a bit. I will let you know tomorrow 9-7 2022 how well they did. Why are they still allowed to advertise on TV if they are this bad? I will be very upset with not only them but the station thatโs still allowing the sales. Thatโs a lot of money to spend on trash when I could have went to wal Mart and paid less for pans that really work.
I have bought 2 sets of the same collection. I have never had an instance where it didnโt stick. I have always had to use oil or butter when cooking in these pans. I have tried to reach out to the company, but no one is ever available and no return call.
l got the spaghetti pot where you could drain it from the lid and no scratch resistant and you can make mashed potatoes with your electric mixer I use my KitchenAid handmixer and it scratched the pan so I canโt use it now. Well post one of them I donโt care I knew this was gonna be a problem
