Electric pressure cookers and milti-function cooking appliances have surged in popularity over the last decade. Many households use them, but people sometimes forget that pressure cookers can be dangerous. Case in point: SharkNinja just issued a recall of millions of electric multi-cookers because of dozens reports of serious burns and lawsuits. Here’s what you need to know, and how to determine if your pressure cooker is recalled.
The lid of the appliance can be opened when the cooker is still pressurized, causing an explosion of dangerously hot food, according to the recall website set up by SharkNinja, the manufacturer of the electric multi-function cooker. Normally, electric pressure cooker lids have safeties that don’t allow you to open them while the contents are still pressurized.
There have been 106 reports of burns from the appliance, including more than 50 reports of second- and third-degree burns, according to the recall notice by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Those injuries have led to 26 lawsuits being filed against SharkNinja.
All Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Pressure Cookers/Tendercrisp Air Fryers are being recalled. They are multi-function countertop appliances that can pressure cook as well as air fry. They’re black and have a 6.5 quart capacity.
The recalled Ninja Foodis were sold at numerous outlets nationwide, including Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, and Amazon, as well as online. They were sold from January 2019 through March 2025 for about $200. A total of 1,846,400 of the recalled appliances were sold in the U.S., with another 184,240 sold in Canada.
If you have a Ninja Foodi multicooker, check the label on the back of the appliance near the power cord. The model number will be listed near the top. If it’s any one of these models, it’s part of the recall.
If you have one of the recalled Ninja Foodis, the manufacturer advises you to immediately stop using the pressure cooker function and discard the pressure cooking lid. The company will send you a replacement lid free of charge. To receive one, fill out the form on the SharkNinja website and submit a photo of your Ninja Foodi’s label. Anyone with questions can contact SharkNinja at 800-365-0135.
