SharkNinja is recalling more than 1.8 million pressure cookers after it received more than 100 reports of burn injuries, federal safety regulators said on Thursday. The injuries prompted more than two dozen lawsuits against the company.
The company, based in Needham, Mass., is recalling its Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers, which also functions as an air fryer, after customers reported that the pressure cooker’s lid could be opened during use and that hot food could “escape” and pose a burn risk.
The affected products have a 6.5-quart capacity, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a recall notice. The company sold about 1.85 million of the devices in the United States and about 184,000 in Canada, the agency said.
SharkNinja has received 106 reports of burn injuries, including more than 50 reports of second- or third-degree burns to the face or body, the safety commission said, adding that 26 lawsuits have been filed against the company.
“The safety of our customers is a top priority for SharkNinja,” the company said in a statement on Thursday, noting it was cooperating with the safety commission.
“This addresses reports that some consumers have been able to open the pressure-cooking lids of certain units of these cookers during use, resulting in burn injuries from hot contents,” the company added.
The devices were sold for about $200 at retailers such as Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Amazon and Target and online at ninjakitchen.com from January 2019 through March 2025, the commission said.
People who have bought the devices should immediately stop using the pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid, the commission said.
“Consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying and other functions,” the recall notice said.
The model numbers affected, which are listed in the recall notice, can be found on a label on the side of the cooker.
Customers who have the devices can contact the company at 888-370-1733 or sharkninja@rqa-inc.com.
