Nearly 2 million SharkNinja Foodi Multi-Function Pressure Cookers have been recalled after reports of serious burn injuries linked to a defect allowing the lid to open during use.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on May 1, 2025, citing significant safety concerns and urging consumers to stop using the product's pressure-cooking function immediately.
Newsweek contacted the company for comment via email outside of working hours.

The affected models, sold at Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, Target and online, between January 2019 and March 2025, are part of the OP300 Series of multi-function pressure cookers.

CPSC
According to the CPSC, the pressure-cooking lid can open during use. This can cause hot contents to be ejected, posing a burn risk to users.
The recall involves all SharkNinja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers. The recalled products have model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO, and OP350CO. These numbers are printed on a label on the side of each cooker.
They were sold in black and have a 6.5-quart capacity. "Ninja" is printed on the front of each unit and on the product label.
OP300 series replacement pressure cooker lids purchased as an additional part are also included in the recall.
The CPSC noted: "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."
Consumers are advised to stop using the pressure-cooking function on relevant units immediately. However, other functions of the cooker, such as air frying, may continue to be used, the CPSC said. Consumers can also contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid.
