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.

We bought several Gothem Steel pans (6). They all started sticking exactly as the plaintiff says, but just within a week or so. Even with butter or oil they stick and do leave black marks. It is very disappointing when we put the extra money into them because they were advertised and shown in the info-mercials as everything just slides right off of them.
Such a rip off. I hate we spent the extra money for them.
Add me I bought two one was a 10 inch fry pan the other was the deeper one, both scratched and were sticking food before i threw them out
add me!
I bought 2 different styles of the pan and they are both junk! One is the large frying pan and the other is the deep dish pan with the lid. Everything sticks and burns. Terrible
I bought the fryer 2 frying pans and 2 saucepans. And an inside. Grill they all stick and scratch i wasted alot of money i have most reciepts
Yeah, I brought a lot of bottles through the years and my pots got black spots where the food was sticking
I got the set this is the worst set of pots and pans they sticks can’t get them clean pieces of junk
Pans turned.black and were no longer usable.
Add me mine are peeling
I have several pans the cookie sheet better than the fry pans. Every thing sticks to the fry pans
Agree. I have the black marks on the bottom too! I have tried everything to avoid the sticking and it sticks with or without oil.
