Over one million pressure cookers made by SharkNinja are being recalled after customers filed burn injury reports.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and SharkNinja issued a recall on Thursday for the brand's SharkNinja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers after 106 reports of burn injuries were filed, which has sparked over two dozen lawsuits against the company.
The pressure cooker is black with a 6.5-quart capacity. Affected models include those with the model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO which are printed on the side of the cookware.
'An additional code following the model number is not part of that model designation. For example, a unit labeled 'OP301 I07' is a model OP301 unit. Any OP300 series replacement pressure cooker lids purchased as an additional part are also included in this recall,' the CPSC report clarified.
There were about 1,846,400 pressure cookers recalled, plus another 184,240 sold in Canada.
The cookware was sold at Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, and Target stores nationwide and online at www.Ninjakitchen.com from January 2019 through March 2025. Each pressure cooker sold for around $200.
Within the 106 reports of burn injuries, there were more than 50 reports of second or third-degree burns to the face or body, according to the CPSC report.
Customers who have the pressure cooker are urged to stop using the product's pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid.
However, the report says customers can still use the pressure cookers' other functions, including air frying.
The recall comes over one week after Upper Crust Bakery LP issued a voluntary recall on three of its bread products after glass fragments were discovered on the surface of the loaves.
The recall affects 89 cases of Ancient Grains Hoagie Rolls, 699 cases of Multigrain Sourdough, and 30 cases of Whole Grain Multigrain bread. All the products were sold frozen and packaged in corrugated paper cartons.
Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and to return them to their place of purchase for a refund.
The loaves of bread were sold at stores in six states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
On April 25, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a Class II recall, meaning 'a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.'
However, there have not been any reports of injuries due to the recalled breads at the time of writing.
