Over 2 million Ninja-branded pressure cookers are recalled after reports of serious burn injuries
is recalling more than 2 million pressure cookers sold in the U.S. and Canada - after consumers reported over 100 burn injuries spanning from a hazard that can cause hot food to spew out. According to a recall notice published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday, Ninja-branded "Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers" have a lid that can be opened while the cooker is in use. That can cause hot contents to escape from the product, posing serious burn risks. 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, per the CPSC, which adds that 26 lawsuits have been filed as a result. No additional injuries have been reported in Canada, an accompanying notice from Health Canada notes. "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 a recall to address related consumer reports. Those in possession of the now-recalled cookers are urged to immediately stop using the pressure-cooking function and contact Massachusetts-based SharkNinja for a free replacement lid. But you 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," an FAQ on SharkNinja's website adds - noting that all recall replacements will be handled online. The multiuse 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. 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 Thursday's recall notices. About 1,846,400 of these cookers were sold in the U.S. and 184,240 were sold in Canada, in addition to some lids that were previously distributed as replacement parts.

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. Have you encountered issues with your SharkNinja product? Contact webnews@ A spokesperson for the company, which was founded in 1994 in Montreal, Canada, said: "The safety of our customers is a top priority for SharkNinja." 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.

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.

David Paul Morris/Bloomberg Kohl's, one of the largest department stores in the United States, is searching for a new CEO after firing its current one, Ashley Buchanan, who had been on the job since only Jan. 15, the company said Thursday. The department store chain said Buchanan, 51, had 'violated company policies by directing the company to engage in vendor transactions that involved undisclosed conflicts of interest.' Buchanan's termination, the company said, was 'unrelated' to the performance of Kohl's. Still, the abrupt departure of the CEO has come at a challenging time for the retailer, with sales falling and dampening interest from younger shoppers. The chain has not posted an increase in sales since late 2021. The company discovered Buchanan's violation after an investigation by an outside firm hired by Kohl's. The company has appointed Michael J. Bender, director of its board, as interim CEO. — NEW YORK TIMES AVIATION US offers bonuses to help boost air traffic control staffing US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy holds a news conference about adding more air traffic controllers to the workforce at the DOT headquarters on May 1 in Washington, D.C. Chip Somodevilla/Getty The US Transportation Department will offer new bonuses worth thousands of dollars to help address a persistent shortage of air traffic controllers. Certified professional controllers who are eligible for retirement will receive a 20 percent lump sum payment for each year they continue to work, the department said in a statement on Thursday. New hires and graduates of the Federal Aviation Administration's academy for controllers who complete initial qualification training will get a $5,000 award. Graduates will get $10,000 if they're assigned to one of 13 locations that are considered difficult to staff, according to a statement. The incentives are part of a broader effort by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to boost staffing in the FAA's organization that oversees about 45,000 US flights that carry about 2.9 million passengers each day. Improving the air traffic system has gained additional attention after a deadly midair collision near Washington earlier this year. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement AUTOMOTIVE GM says tariffs will cost it up to $5 billion Vehicles are passed through final inspection at the end of the assembly line at the General Motors facility in Spring Hill, Tenn., on Oct. 7, 2024. Brett Carlsen/NYT General Motors cut its profit forecast for 2025 on Thursday by more than 20 percent and said the Trump administration's tariffs would increase its costs by $4 billion to $5 billion this year. In a conference call with analysts, GM executives said the company now expected to make $8.2 billion to $10.1 billion this year, down from a previous forecast of $11.2 billion to $12.5 billion. 'GM's business is fundamentally strong as we adapt to the new trade policy environment,' the company's CEO Mary Barra said. In April, President Trump imposed tariffs of 25 percent on imported vehicles and will begin imposing the same duty on imported auto parts on Saturday. On Tuesday, the president modified how the tariffs are applied to give automakers some relief, including partial reimbursement for tariffs on imported parts for two years. Barra said GM hoped to offset about 30 percent of the impact of the tariffs by increasing production in US plants, cutting costs and working with suppliers to raise their domestic production of parts and components. — NEW YORK TIMES TECH Apple violated court's order to loosen app store rules, judge says Apple's App Store icon is displayed on an iPad in Baltimore on March 19, 2018. Patrick Semansky/Associated Press A federal judge in California said Wednesday that Apple violated her legal order to offer Americans more options for making digital purchases from iPhone apps. She also referred the case to prosecutors for potential criminal investigation into the company and a top finance executive. US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers criticized the conduct of Apple CEO Tim Cook and two key finance executives in her ruling, writing that one of the finance executives had 'outright lied under oath' to conceal Apple's defiance of her order. 'We strongly disagree with the decision,' Apple said in a statement. 'We will comply with the court's order and we will appeal.' The company was ordered in 2021 to stop requiring app developers to offer any digital purchases via its own payment system, from which Apple takes a commission of up to 30 percent. — WASHINGTON POST Advertisement E-COMMERCE Wayfair first-quarter profit tops estimates on strong demand A view of Wayfair's first large-format store in Wilmette, Ill., on May 23, 2024 Andrew Burke-Stevenson for The Boston Globe Wayfair Inc.'s earnings results came in better than expected as consumers brought forward spending while suppliers are holding back from price increases. Demand stayed strong in the quarter, cochairman Steve Conine said on a call Thursday, adding that the Boston-based company's seeing suppliers 'actually trying to not raise price or to defer it as long as possible and do the minimum that they would need to do.' Consumers 'likely sought items ahead of anticipated price increases due to tariffs,' according to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Poonam Goyal and Sydney Goodman. Globally positioned suppliers could help insulate the company from tariffs. The set up 'creates a much more beneficial scenario than if we were a traditional retailer,' chief executive Niraj Shah said on the call, clarifying that it won't benefit from tariffs directly. — BLOOMBERG NEWS PHARMACEUTICALS Obesity drug price wars heating up as CVS picks Novo over Lilly Wegovy injection pens. Shelby Knowles/Bloomberg The obesity drug price wars are finally starting. After being publicly lambasted for the high cost of their weight-loss shots, two of world's biggest drugmakers — Eli Lilly & Co. and Novo Nordisk A/S — are racing to lock up deals with drug benefit managers that control which prescriptions many Americans get as well as popular telehealth companies that sell directly to consumers. Investors are worried about how low prices will go. It's not the first time the companies are facing off in the byzantine world of drug economics, where list prices often don't reflect what the consumer pays or even how much the manufacturer makes. Novo's starting off with a higher price. Its obesity drug Wegovy costs $1,349 for a month's supply, while Lilly's Zepbound is $1,086. Contrary to typical consumer economics, that higher price helps Novo compete by giving it more wiggle room to offer discounts. Known as 'rebates,' these are the payments drugmakers offer to drug benefit managers in return for wider — or even exclusive — coverage by health plans. That quid pro quo showed up Thursday morning, when CVS Health Corp. dropped Lilly's Zepbound from its list of preferred drugs in exchange for Novo providing undisclosed price concessions for its competing drug Wegovy that will make it more widely available. It was a step Novo took to boost sales of its medicine, which made it to the market first but was quickly losing share. What's unclear is the extent of the rebates and their ultimate impact on the bottom lines. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement
