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 also found that food stuck to the pans. I started using oil and it still stuck.
Add me everything sticks
I purchased one of the pans and my food started sticking to it .
Add me
I purchased the 9.5″ pan (with one free), and also ordered the LIDS….I did not order the upgraded handles. The following day I rec. a confirmation email on my order: showing an order for the pan and upgraded handles, NO LIDS! I phoned customer service immediately, and was told that there is nothing they can do about the order, since it was already shipped! I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN and HOPE YOU DON’T EITHER!
Please add me family has these pans .
Just wanted to add…after being told that my order had already been shipped, I didn’t rec. it for another 3 weeks. And, the UPGRADED HANDLES (that I DID NOT ORDER, BUT WERE SENT IN PLACE OF THE LIDS WHICH I DID ORDER AND DID NOT REC.), ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A PIECE OF RUBBER THAT SLIDES OVER THE HANDLE, AND DOESN’T EVEN FIT WELL! REAL CHEAP QUALITY!
I bought the set as well and it started peeling immediately as well
I would also like to join in.
Following,I bought the whole set after the first week all my pots started peeling off inside.
Awful experience. After a couple of weeks everything was sticking to the pan. I also bought one for my elderly aunt and that happened to hers too.?
I bought two and they both do not work as advertised.
Absolutely exactly how it happens… after two uses. Cant even cook eggs without oil.
