SharkNinja Sued For Claims Its Products Hold Three Times The Heat Of The Sun's Surface
A class lawsuit was filed against SharkNinja's company known for its Shark robovacs products and Ninja kitchen utensils. The lawsuit highlights the collection of Ninja NeverStick Premium Cookware, a series of pots and pans advertised to have anti-sket properties and resistance to superior exfoliation, thanks to the manufacturing process.
In fact, this lawsuit stems from SharkNinja's claim that this pot is heated to a maximum temperature of 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit, not just 900 degrees Fahrenheit like any other brand. This process, according to SharkNinja, combines "plasma ceramic particles" to the pot surface, "creating a very hard and textured surface that locks with our exclusive layer for better bonds."
However, Patricia Brown, the plaintiff in this case, doubts her. As stated in her lawsuit, NASA recently stated that "The surface of the Sun has a very hot temperature of about 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit," meaning the process of making SharkNinja reaches temperatures about three times that.

In addition, Brown argued that heating SharkNinja's pot at that temperature was "physically unstable," given that aluminum evaporated into gas at 4,478 degrees Fahrenheit. The lawsuit also highlights that SharkNinja advertises the pot is oven resistant to only 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Although SharkNinja's claims may sound very striking, the company may not lie. An old article from The Washington Post depicts a ceramic coating process that sounds similar to SharkNinja's advertised.
However, Brown claims that SharkNinja's claim is "only a tricking marketing technique" that convinces customers to buy her NeverStick product, which is more expensive than competitors' anti-rocket pots like Farberware. However, SharkNinja's opinion needs to be heard in this regard.
