Pressure cookers have been popular again since the Instant Pot hit it big in around 2016. If you own a SharkNinja pressure cooker, take a look at the model number. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled over 1.8 million SharkNinja Foodi pressure cookers in the US and Canada, due to a serious burn hazard.
The May 1 recall specifically affects the Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function pressure cooker and air fryer. The recalled pressure cookers can unlock while still pressurized, causing hot food and liquids to spray out from the pot. The CPSC has received over 100 reports of burn injuries, with nearly half of the reports including second- or third-degree burns to the face.
If you own a SharkNinja and are unsure if your pressure cooker is part of the recall, here’s everything you need to know, including what steps to take if you are affected.
