SharkNinja recalls 1.8 million pressure cookers after 106 burn injuries

SharkNinja has recalled over 2 million Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers across the U.S. and Canada due to a defect in the pressure-cooking lid, which can be opened during use and cause hot food to escape, resulting in serious burn risks. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports 106 burn injuries, including over 50 cases of second- or third-degree burns and 26 related lawsuits, though no injuries have been reported in Canada. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid; other functions like air frying remain unaffected and safe to use. The recalled models were sold at major retailers such as Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Amazon, and Target from 2019 through early 2025. The company emphasizes that customer safety is a top priority and is handling all recall replacements online. Impacted units are identifiable by their model numbers and “Ninja” branding.
