SharkNinja Pressure Cooker Recalled After Over 100 Burn Injuries
On May 1, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a major recall of over 1.8 million SharkNinja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers following more than 100 reports of serious burn injuries, including dozens of cases involving second- and third-degree burns to the face and body. If you or a loved one was injured by a defective pressure cooker, you may be entitled to compensation through a Florida product liability claim.
At Flanagan & Bodenheimer Injury and Wrongful Death Law Firm, we represent individuals who have been harmed by dangerous household products. If you’ve been burned by a SharkNinja pressure cooker or any other defective appliance, our experienced legal team is here to help.
Why Was the SharkNinja Pressure Cooker Recalled?
The recall stems from a serious design flaw in the pressure cooker’s lid. According to the CPSC, the lid can be inadvertently opened while the unit is still pressurized, allowing hot food, steam, and liquid to erupt from the pot, leading to severe burns.
The recall affects models with a 6.5-quart capacity, often branded as a combination pressure cooker and air fryer, and sold at major retailers including:
- Amazon
- Walmart
- Costco
- Target
These units were available for purchase from January 2019 through March 2025.
Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled cookers immediately and to contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid at 888-370-1733 or sharkninja@rqa-inc.com.
Burn Injuries from Defective Pressure Cookers
Burn injuries caused by pressure cookers can be catastrophic and life-altering. Common injuries include:
- Second-degree burns: Blistering, pain, and swelling that can result in scarring.
- Third-degree burns: Full-thickness burns that can destroy nerves and tissue, requiring skin grafts and long-term medical care.
- Facial and eye injuries: Resulting from steam explosions and hot food sprays.
These injuries often require emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, reconstructive surgeries, and extensive recovery time, leading to lost wages, pain and suffering, and psychological distress.
Can You File a Product Liability Lawsuit in Florida?
Yes. Under Florida product liability law, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held legally responsible when a product causes injury due to:
- Defective design
- Manufacturing defects
- Failure to warn or provide adequate instructions
Florida law allows victims to seek compensation through a strict liability claim if the product was unreasonably dangerous and caused harm while being used as intended.
If you or a loved one suffered injuries from a SharkNinja pressure cooker or another faulty kitchen appliance, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement or scarring
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
In the case of wrongful death, surviving family members may also pursue a wrongful death claim under the Florida Wrongful Death Act, which can provide compensation for funeral costs, loss of support, and emotional suffering.
