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 bought sets and each one of them are totally the same worthless in use!
yes i bought two and both of them were awful….. and they said they would last…… they were in the garbage pail within a month.. they are definitely false advertising and a rip off.
Pans were pretty good the first few uses and then they stick. Black burn marks which are a pain to scrub off.

I bought one of these pans And found that that it was a waste of money cause I experienced sticking problems with it after a couple of of uses.
Please add me or inform me when I can put in for this suit.
I bought 2 from Walmart and they do stick unless I use oil spray on them. If I’d know about them being this way I would’ve never bought them. They’re useless and expensive.
Omg!! It’s too funny ! I remember buying into this stupid claim and bought TWO of the pans against my husband advise ! Lol ? everything STUCK to the pan ! I called customer service and they offered to send another PAN ! Why?! Why would I want another pan that doesn’t do what they claim it does ?! Yes , DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING! I was suckered in!
Everything sticks to these pans.
Obviously the Gotham pans are manufactured on Gotham. Using them twice will produce Bat Excrement firmly attached to the inside bottom.
