Pressure Cooker Recall Could Be Explosive for Michiganders

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for pressure cookers, and it could prove to be a problem for people in Michigan.

I don't know about you, but when we were all stuck in our homes during the COVID-19 lockdown, we leaned HARD into using our pressure cooker.

While I don't own this particular brand or model, I know a lot of people who do because it has always come highly recommended.

SharkNinja Recalls Nearly 2 Million Pressure Cookers

SharkNinja is a super popular brand in the kitchen gadget world, and they are well-trusted. But, they've just issued a recall on 1.8 million Foodi pressure cookers due to a burn risk.

Turns out, serious injuries have been reported due to the lid on the pressure cooker not properly locking during use. This means that users can open them while the contents inside are still under pressure.

If you're not a person who uses a pressure cooker often, you probably don't understand what that means. But, basically, this means that when the lid is opened, the very hot contents can shoot out and cause burns.

Which SharkNinja Pressure Cooker Models Are Recalled

If you have had your pressure cooker for a while and haven't encountered any issues, you're probably fine.

This recall is specifically for the Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers. These are the ones that not only pressure cook but also airfry.

The recalled model numbers are as follows:

• OP300
• OP301
• OP301A
• OP302
• OP302BRN
• OP302HCN
• OP302HAQ
• OP302HW
• OP302HB
• OP305
• OP305CO
• OP350CO

Those model numbers should be printed on a label on the side of the pressure cooker.

The recall also includes any replacement lids that you may have purchased for an OP300.

Where Were the Recalled Ninja Pressure Cookers Sold?

If you have purchased a Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker any time between January of 2019 and March of 2025, your model could be part of the recall.

The units were sold online at Ninjakitchen.com, and also at Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Target, and on Amazon.

What to Do if You Have a Recalled Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker

If you happen to own one of these recalled air fryers, the CPSC recommends that you stop using it immediately (at least for pressure cooking).

The good news is that most of the unit is still safe to use, just not the lid. You can receive a free replacement lid by filling out a form on the company's website.
