SharkNinja Recalls 2 Million Pressure Cookers After 106 Burn Injuries

SharkNinja, a leading manufacturer of kitchen appliances, has announced a recall of over 2 million pressure cookers sold in the U.S. and Canada. This recall is in response to 106 reported incidents of burn injuries, with more than 50 of these cases involving second or third-degree burns to the face or body. The affected models are the Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers, which were marketed for their versatility and air frying capabilities. These pressure cookers were manufactured in China and sold widely from January 2019 to March 2025 at major retailers such as Costco, Sam's Club, Target, and Walmart, as well as online through various platforms including Amazon and the NinjaKitchen website.

The primary issue identified is that the lid of the OP300 pressure cookers can open while in use, leading to hot contents leaking out and increasing the risk of burn injuries. SharkNinja has emphasized the safety of its customers as a top priority and is cooperating with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada to address this issue. The company is offering free replacement lids for the affected models to mitigate the risk of further injuries. Customers are advised to stop using the pressure-cooking feature of the recalled appliances immediately and to contact SharkNinja for a replacement lid. The company has provided multiple channels for customer support, including a toll-free number, email, and an online portal.

The recall impacts approximately 1.8 million Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers with a 6.5-quart capacity. The affected models include those with the following numbers: OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO, and OP350CO. Customers can continue using the air frying feature and other functions of their recalled pressure cookers while awaiting the replacement lid. SharkNinja has also stated that customers can reach out to them for any questions or assistance needed during this recall process.

This recall underscores the importance of product safety and the need for manufacturers to address potential hazards promptly. SharkNinja's proactive response to the reported injuries demonstrates their commitment to customer safety and their willingness to take necessary actions to rectify the issue. The company's cooperation with regulatory bodies and their efforts to provide a solution to affected customers are commendable. This recall serves as a reminder for consumers to stay informed about product recalls and to follow the instructions provided by manufacturers to ensure their safety.
