Those that have been exposed to the dangerous chemicals by ingesting them orally, absorbing them through the skin, or inhaling them through the air are at risk of developing various types of cancer. If you are a veteran of a military base or a resident who lived near a military base and subsequently developed cancer from exposure to the firefighting foam, fill out our free case review to see if you are eligible for compensation without ever going to court.

Pressure cookers have long been a staple in kitchens, offering quick and efficient meal preparation. However, recent incidents have highlighted significant safety concerns associated with certain models, leading to severe injuries and legal actions. At Main Street Law Firm, PLLC, we are committed to advocating for individuals harmed by defective pressure cookers and ensuring they receive the justice they deserve.
Understanding the Risks
Modern pressure cookers are designed with safety mechanisms, including steam release valves and locking lids, to prevent accidents. Despite these features, malfunctions can occur. Defective components, such as faulty rubber seals or inaccurate pressure indicators, may lead users to believe it's safe to open the cooker when it's still pressurized. This can result in explosive releases of scalding contents, causing:
- Severe burns
- Lacerations from flying debris
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
- Emotional trauma and psychological distress
Manufacturers have a duty to ensure their products are safe for consumer use. Failure to address known defects or to provide adequate warnings constitutes negligence and can be grounds for legal action.
Recent Developments: Recalls and Legal Actions
In May 2025, SharkNinja recalled over 2 million Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers after reports of 106 burn injuries, including more than 50 cases of second- and third-degree burns. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) noted that the cookers' lids could be opened while still pressurized, leading to dangerous eruptions of hot contents.
Affected models include OP300, OP301, OP302, and others sold between January 2019 and March 2025 at major retailers like Walmart, Target, Costco, and Amazon. Consumers are advised to stop using the pressure-cooking function immediately and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid.
Legal Grounds for Filing a Lawsuit
Victims of pressure cooker explosions may have legal claims based on:
- Product liability: Holding manufacturers accountable for releasing defective products.
- Negligence: Failure to ensure product safety or to warn consumers of potential hazards.
- Breach of warranty: Violations of express or implied promises regarding product safety.
Successful lawsuits can result in compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
Notable Cases and Settlements
Legal actions against pressure cooker manufacturers have led to significant settlements. For instance, in 2020, a Pennsylvania woman received a $6 million settlement after sustaining severe burns from a defective pressure cooker.
These cases underscore the importance of holding manufacturers accountable and the potential for victims to receive substantial compensation.
