Over 2 million pressure cookers recalled after dozens of consumers suffer injuries

A popular appliance manufacturer is recalling more than 2 million pressure cookers after receiving over 100 reports of injuries.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on Thursday. The recall only pertains to Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers, though all models are included in the recall.

At least 106 burn injuries have been reported so far – and a quarter of those have led to lawsuits.

"Consumers should immediately stop using the product's pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid."
