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 have had the same issues. Glad someone stood up and did something. So often today it seems nothing is as it claims. Was going to suck it up because this is what our world has come too. So many companies have nothing but making that dollar at any cost.
So Yes please add me.
I purchased three of these pans and had the same problems. Pans would stick after just a few uses. Please add me to the list. Thank you.
Please add me I got screwed as well with purchasing no one but 4 of these myself and was foolish enough to give them as gifts to others, no wonder they don’t talk to me no more LOL
add me
Include me please.
These pans are the worst ever used.
First few times uses they were so slick it was unbelievable.
After 5 times using them they started losing the slick nonstick surface and everything stuck. Even worse is the fact that they become black stained and impossible to clean.
The scrap man was the only happy end user of them.
I bought 3 of these and they started sticking within a month. NOT worth the price.
I purchased 2 from Costco, having the same issues even with using butter or oil. Some black stuff sticking to the pans.
Please include me. I have numerous pans. They work non stick for first couple times…then not better than any other inexpensive pan. Add me to your list.
I have one pan can you please add me to your list.Thank you very much.
I purchased 4 of these pans.
Where can I feel the form I got 3 and I’m not satisfied
