SharkNinja is recalling approximately 1.8 million Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers due to reports of burn injuries caused by the lid opening during use and releasing hot contents. The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, following 106 reported burn injuries, over 50 of which involved second- or third-degree burns. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the pressure-cooking function of these appliances, which were sold across major retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Amazon. The recall affects various models, including replacement lids, and SharkNinja is offering free replacement lids for affected units. Despite the recall, other functions such as air frying can still be safely used, and about 184,240 units were also sold in Canada.
