Proof Required?
E. Mishan & Sons, Inc. — the company behind the Gotham Steel, Granite Stone, and Bell & Howell "As Seen on TV" cookware brands — has agreed to a class action settlement in Jeffrey Fouse and Brianna Miller v. E. Mishan & Sons, Inc. (Case No. CVRI2505343, Superior Court of California, County of Riverside). The lawsuit alleges the company marketed its cookware with stainless steel components as "Healthy," "Non-Toxic," "Safe," and "Free from PFOA, PFOS, PTFE, BPA, lead, and cadmium," even though the products allegedly contained undisclosed chromium, iron, nickel, lead, cadmium, PFOA, PFAS, PTFE, or PFOS. The suit does not allege the cookware caused any physical or personal injury, and E. Mishan & Sons denies any wrongdoing. If you bought Gotham Steel, Granite Stone, or Bell & Howell cookware with stainless steel components in California or Colorado between September 8, 2021 and July 6, 2026, you can file a claim for a cash payment. No receipt and no Notice ID are required, and the claim deadline is September 25, 2026.
