SharkNinja Recalls 1.8 Million Pressure Cookers Due to Burn Hazard – What You Need to Know
As of the recall date, SharkNinja has received 62 reports of incidents where the cookers pressurized unexpectedly and caused hot contents to spew out. At least 61 people have reported burn injuries, some of which are described as second- and third-degree burns.
If you own a SharkNinja Foodi pressure cooker, you may be at serious risk of burn injuries. On May 2, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a massive recall of over 1.8 million SharkNinja multi-cooker pressure cookers due to a dangerous burn hazard. At Main Street Law Firm, PLLC, we are actively investigating claims and helping individuals and families who may have been injured by these defective appliances.
What’s Being Recalled?
The recall affects two types of Ninja Foodi pressure cookers:
- Model Numbers: OL601, OL601C, OL701, OL701C
- These products were sold under the Ninja brand between August 2021 and October 2023 at major retailers like Walmart, Target, Amazon, and others.
According to the CPSC, the pressure cookers can be opened while still pressurized, which can cause hot food and liquid to be forcefully ejected, resulting in serious burn injuries to users and anyone nearby.
Reported Injuries and Hazards
As of the recall date, SharkNinja has received 62 reports of incidents where the cookers pressurized unexpectedly and caused hot contents to spew out. At least 61 people have reported burn injuries, some of which are described as second- and third-degree burns.
The malfunction occurs when the lid is removed before the internal pressure has dropped to safe levels — a catastrophic design flaw that should have been caught before reaching consumers’ homes.
Where Were They Sold?
These recalled pressure cookers were sold nationwide and online at retailers such as:
- Walmart
- Target
- Best Buy
- Kohl’s
- Amazon
- Ninjakitchen.com
The units were priced between $190 and $250, making them a popular household purchase, particularly for families looking to simplify meal preparation.
What Should Consumers Do?
If you own one of the affected models:
- Stop using the cooker immediately.
- Contact SharkNinja for a free replacement pressure release valve and user guide.
- Document any injuries, damage, or incidents — including photos and medical records.
