How Car Recalls Are Reported
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) officially starts car recalls after receiving complaints from consumers.
NEW YORK — SharkNinja is recalling more than 2 million pressure cookers sold in the U.S. and Canada after consumers reported over 100 burn injuries. The recall notice was published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Thursday.
Ninja Pressure Cookers Recalled
According to the recall notice, Ninja-branded “Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers” have a lid that can be opened while the cooker is in use. This poses a risk of hot contents escaping, which could cause serious burns.
By the Numbers:
SharkNinja has received 106 reports of burn injuries in the U.S., including more than 50 reports of second- or third-degree burns to the face or body. The CPSC also noted that 26 lawsuits have been filed as a result. No additional injuries have been reported in Canada, according to an accompanying notice from Health Canada.
What They’re Saying:
“The safety of our customers is a top priority for SharkNinja,” the company said in a statement sent to The Associated Press, adding that it was conducting the recall to address related consumer reports.
