How car recalls get reported
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) officially start car recalls after receiving complaints from consumers.
NEW YORK – SharkNinja is recalling more than 2 million pressure cookers sold in the U.S. and Canada after consumers reported more than 100 burn injuries.
The recall notice was published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday.
Ninja pressure cookers recalled
According to the recall notice, Ninja-branded “Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers” have a lid that can be opened while the cooker is in use. That can cause hot contents to escape from the product, posing serious burn risks.
By the numbers:
SharkNinja has received 106 reports of burn injuries in the U.S. — including more than 50 reports of second or third-degree burns to the face or body, per the CPSC, which added that 26 lawsuits have been filed as a result.
No additional injuries have been reported in Canada, an accompanying notice from Health Canada noted.
What they’re saying:
“The safety of our customers is a top priority for SharkNinja,” the company said in a statement sent to The Associated Press, adding that it was conducting a recall to address related consumer reports.
Immediately stop using recalled SharkNinja
What’s next:
Those in possession of the now-recalled cookers are urged to immediately stop using the product and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid.
The company said that consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying and other functions.

To get a new lid, “you do not need to take your unit back to where you bought it,” an FAQ on SharkNinja’s website adds — noting that all recall replacements will be handled online.
The backstory:
The multi-use cookers were made in China and sold between early 2019 and the spring of 2025 at major retailers like Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Amazon and Target, as well as Ninjakitchen.com, for about $200. The products have the word “Ninja” printed on the front.

Consumers can also identify if their cooker is impacted by checking its product label. Impacted model numbers are listed on Thursday’s recall notices.
About 1,846,400 of these cookers were sold in the U.S. and 184,240 were sold in Canada, in addition to some lids that were previously distributed as replacement parts.
