SharkNinja recalls millions of pressure cookers after customers suffer third-degree burns
SharkNinja - famous for its air fryers and other houseware items - has recalled more than two million pressure cookers. More than 100 burn injuries have been reported in relation to the use of the Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers. These have allegedly happened when hot food has spewed out of the machines, due to a problem with them. Around 50 of these injuries were second or third-degree burns to the face or body, a recall notice reads. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday the Ninja-branded Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers have a lid which can be opened while the cooker is in use. It added this can cause hot contents to escape from the product, posing serious burn risks. The recall concerns customers in the Canada and the US only and, in the latter, 26 lawsuits have been filed as a result of severe burns. SharkNinja is working with the authorities in both countries.

The firm, whose name is formed by its two brands Shark and Ninja, is now based in Needham, Massachusetts. Those in possession of the now-recalled cookers are urged to immediately stop using the pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid. But they can still use the cookers' other functions, including air frying, which are not affected by the recall. To get a new lid, "you do not need to take your unit back to where you bought it," SharkNinja saiys on its website. It adds all recall replacements will be handled online. The multi-use cookers were made in China and sold between early 2019 and the spring of 2025 at major retailers like Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon and Target, as well as for about $200 (£150). The products have the word 'Ninja' printed on the front. Consumers can also identify if their cooker is impacted by checking its product label. Impacted model numbers are listed on SharkNinja's recall notices. About 1,846,400 of these cookers were sold in the US and 184,240 were sold in Canada, in addition to some lids that were previously distributed as replacement parts. The warning comes after an air fryer expert recently flagged a common issue she is seeing with the item's use. Among a number of "common blunders" Clare Andrews has noticed, she said the most frequent is people overfilling the baskets with food. This can hinder the quality of dishes, she said.
