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.

I purchased two sets, the first set started sticking and the coating started scratching up, they replaced those 2 pans, then I purchased the gothem steel hammered 15 piece set, and it started sticking, and scratching up also, I called for the warranty, but it keep telling me out of stock, I been waiting for about 2 or 3 weeks, till says out of stock, have not yet been replaced. They are not non stick, and they are not scratch proof.
I bought the set at wal mart and have same issues
I also purchased a Gothic indoor grill and after a couple uses I stopped using it as the food was sticking as well as black food scum stuck to grill making it very difficult to clean as you cannot soak the grill. I have never had a problem with any non stick pans ever! They are false advertising!

I also purchased a Gotham Pro pan. I have tried the seasoning in the oven, boiling water/vinegar/baking powder/heavy oil/low heat, etc. Nothing works. BACON sticks to it. How do I sign up for the class action?
Yes all 10 pans have been sticking after a few uses
I also purchased Gotham Steele cookware from Macys after seeing there advertisement. The pans I use the mist stick and nicks up.
I paid for a 10 PC pan set at Walmart for over $200. and two week after that my food started to stucking to the pans all I want is my money back cuz these pan are not what they advertised. So if you all can help me get my money back I would be thankful
I purchased a Gotham Steel Diamond 12-piece cookware set for $130 at Macy’s. I have the same problem with sticking food as everyone else. They are subpar and should not be advertised as non-stick pans.
I bought a Gotham pan because I wanted to finally have a good, non-stick quality pan. I spent more than I ever have on one piece of cookware, so I was very careful to use low heat and take care of it. After a few weeks, food began sticking so badly I would have to spend a lot of time soaking the pan and scrubbing with non scratch sponges. I should have just kept buying cheap pans …
