BREAKING NEWS Major tech company issues recall for nearly 2 million pressure cookers after customers suffer third degree burns
Nearly two million pressure cookers from SharkNinja have been recalled after horrific stories emerged of customers suffering third degree burns while they were in use.
The Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cooker has been reported to have hazardous lids that can pop open during usage.
The design fault allows hot food to escape, resulting in serious burn injuries.
The recalled products were sold at Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, and Target stores nationwide, as well as the company's website between January 2019 and March 2025 for about $200.
Approximately 106 people reported to have been injured, with more than 50 suffering from second or third degree burns to the face or body.
The company is working in cooperation with the US Commission and Health Canada.
'In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, we have reached out to our customers directly, including via email, text and if necessary postal mail, and through a variety of other channels, including social media, asking our retailers to notify their end-consumers and put up posters in their stores, and on our DTC website,' the company told DailyMail.com.
'We're staffing a contact center six days a week that can be reached via phone, email or web form. We're doing similar outreach in Canada as well.'
Nearly 2 million Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers from SharkNinja were recalled from the US and Canada
The company noted that customer safety is a 'top priority.'
The products in this recall feature one of 12 model numbers: OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO.
All OP300 series replacement pressure cooker lids are also included in this recall.
No deaths have been reported from the recalled pots, but 26 lawsuits have been filed against SharkNinja regarding the injuries.
The company advised consumers to stop using the affected pressure cooker immediately and to request a replacement lid.
The recalled products were sold at Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, and Target stores nationwide
Buyers can still use the pressure cookers without the lids and will receive a new one for free.
The pressure cooker is one of multiple items that have been recalled chance of injury or danger over the past few weeks.
General Motors recalled nearly 600,000 SUVs and trucks in the US due to engine problems and the FDA recently issued a recall after learning glass fragments were found in Upper Crust Bakery-brand bread and rolls.

Walmart drone delivery service is coming to five new cities
It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's your Walmart order flying straight to your doorstep. And now, Walmart is bringing its drone delivery service to five more US cities. The company will be the first major retailer to offer drone delivery in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. Walmart will launch drone delivery at 100 stores and expand services in Northwest Arkansas and Dallas-Fort Worth, where it began in 2021. The Wing -branded drones can travel up to six miles from Walmart locations. Drone deliveries take up to 30 minutes and are available for select items weighing 2.4 to 10 pounds, depending on vendor capabilities and regulations, the company says. Drone delivery is free for Walmart+ members for a limited time and $19.99 per delivery for non-members. There is no order minimum. Residents in the newly announced cities can register for updates, while Dallas-Fort Worth residents can check availability now. Walmart says top drone-delivered items include fruit, eggs, ice cream, and pet food. Over 150,000 deliveries have been made since launch. To use Walmart's drone delivery, log in to your account. If your address is eligible, a link to the drone delivery page will appear in the site header. You can then items to your cart and proceed to the checkout. From there, select 'Delivery from store,' then choose 'Drone Delivery,' pick a date and time, and complete your order. The Walmart app will notify you if your cart exceeds the drone's weight or volume limits, allowing you to remove items or select another delivery method. Once your order is picked up, you'll get a notification and can track the drone in real time. Deliveries arrive at a designated spot, your front yard, backyard, or driveway, via a cable that gently lowers the package. You can cancel anytime before the drone is out for delivery, and you must keep the delivery area clear of people and pets, Walmart says.

Trump says US will get magnets and rare earth minerals in China trade deal
In return, Mr Trump said the US will provide China 'what was agreed to', including allowing Chinese students to attend American colleges and universities. The new 55% tariff rate would mark a meaningful increase from the 30% levy set in Switzerland during talks in May. 'OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL WITH PRESIDENT XI AND ME,' Mr Trump wrote on his social media site. He said full magnets and any necessary rare earths will be supplied up front by China. 'WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%. RELATIONSHIP IS EXCELLENT!' Mr Trump wrote. Several global brands are among dozens of companies at risk of using forced labour through their Chinese supply chains because they use critical minerals or buy minerals-based products sourced from the far-western Xinjiang region of China, an international rights group said on Wednesday. The report by the Netherlands-based Global Rights Compliance says companies including Avon, Walmart, Nescafe, Coca-Cola and paint supplier Sherwin-Williams may be linked to titanium sourced from Xinjiang, where rights groups allege the Chinese government runs coercive labour practices targeting predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities. The report found 77 Chinese suppliers in the titanium, lithium, beryllium and magnesium industries operating in Xinjiang. It said the suppliers are at risk of participating in the Chinese government's 'labour transfer programmes,' in which Uyghurs are forced to work in factories as part of a long-standing campaign of assimilation and mass detention. Commercial paints, thermos cups and components for the aerospace, auto and defence industries are among products sold internationally that can trace their supply chains to minerals from Xinjiang, the report said. It said that companies must review their supply chains. 'Mineral mining and processing in (Xinjiang) rely in part on the state's forced labour programmes for Uyghurs and other Turkic people in the region,' the report said. The report came as China and the United States, the world's two largest economies, said that they have agreed on a framework to get their trade negotiations back on track after a series of disputes that threatened to derail them. The two sides on Tuesday wrapped up two days of talks in London that appeared to focus on finding a way to resolve disputes over mineral and technology exports that had shaken a fragile truce on trade reached in Geneva last month. Asked about the report, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that 'no-one has ever been forcibly transferred in China's Xinjiang under work programmes'. 'The so-called allegation of forced labour in China's Xinjiang region is nothing but a lie concocted by certain anti-China forces. We urge the relevant organisation to stop interfering in China's internal affairs and undermining Xinjiang's prosperity and stability under the guise of human rights,' ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said. The named companies did not immediately comment on the report. A UN report from 2022 found China may have committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, where more than one million Uyghurs are estimated to have been arbitrarily detained as part of measures that the Chinese government said were intended to target terrorism and separatism. The Chinese government has rejected the UN claims and defended its actions in Xinjiang as fighting terror and ensuring stability. In 2021, then-US president Joe Biden signed a law to block imports from the Xinjiang region unless businesses can prove the items were made without forced labour. The law initially targeted solar products, tomatoes, cotton and apparel, but the US government recently added new sectors for enforcement, including aluminium and seafood. Many of China's major minerals corporations have invested in the exploration and mining of lithium, a key component for electric vehicle batteries, in Xinjiang, Global Rights Compliance said. Xinjiang is also China's top source of beryllium, a mineral used for aerospace, defence and telecommunications, its report said. A recent report by the International Energy Agency said that the world's sources of critical minerals are increasingly concentrated in a few countries, notably China, which is also a leading refining and processing base for lithium, cobalt, graphite and other minerals.
