Over 2 million “Made in China” Ninja pressure cookers are being recalled after causing severe burns to American consumers.
These dangerous kitchen appliances have been sold at major retailers nationwide, including Walmart and Target.
They can unlatch during operation and spray scalding contents onto unsuspecting users, resulting in 106 reported burn injuries and 26 lawsuits.
SharkNinja is recalling roughly 1.8 million units in the United States and another 184,240 in Canada after numerous reports of serious injuries.
Part of the Ninja Foodi OP300 Series, the defective pressure cookers feature a critical design flaw that allows the lid to be opened while contents remain under dangerous pressure.
The hazardous appliances have caused horrific injuries to American families.
Official reports document 106 burn cases in the United States, with more than 50 victims suffering second or third-degree burns to their faces and bodies.
Notably, no injuries have been reported in Canada despite the widespread distribution of the defective product there as well.
These $200 pressure cookers were manufactured in China and sold through major American retailers between January 2019 and March 2025.

The affected models include numerous variations in the OP300 Series, with model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO, and OP350CO.
In a standard corporate response, SharkNinja stated, “The safety of our customers is a top priority for SharkNinja.”
Still, American consumers are questioning this claim, given that the company continued selling dangerous Chinese-made appliances while injury reports mounted.
The CPSC is advising owners to “immediately stop using the product’s pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid.”
However, the recall notice clarifies that “consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying and other functions.”
Consumers with these potentially dangerous appliances can contact SharkNinja by phone, email, or the company’s website for more information about obtaining a replacement lid.
Those who have suffered injuries may wish to consult legal counsel, as evidenced by the dozens of lawsuits already filed against the company.
This recall serves as yet another reminder of the potential dangers of products entering American homes without adequate safety testing or quality control.
American families deserve better than dangerous household appliances that turn everyday cooking into a risk of serious injury.
