Several Complaints Of Dangerous Slow Cookers Causing Injury The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission helps oversee product safety, and allows you to search pressure cooker claims which were reported to them. Among the pressure cooker injury reports, there are certain pressure cookers which may pose a danger: Power Pressure Cooker XL by Tristar Products – Our office has seen an increase in burn injuries and exploding Power Pressure Cooker XLs. The CPSC has also received numerous complaints, including this one ,”Went to open pressure cooker. Turned the valve to release the pressure and it did not release. Attempted to repeat this step with no change. Went to turn the lid and open the cooker. Pressure cooker contents burst and burned me.” Maxi Matic Elite 13-Function 8qt Electronic Pressure Cooker – The CPSC received a recent report of the lid blowing off the pressure cooker. Pressure cookers should have a safety valve to prevent these types of incidents from happening. The victim reported: “The lid of the pressure cooker broke away from the body with a loud boom. The lid was thrown through the air and broke my light fixture in the dining area about 4 feet away and landed on the floor of the kitchen. Plastic from the cooker and the food were stuck in the ceiling and kitchen floor. The tops of my cabinets had food land on them. Things fell so fast and hard it ripped up pieces of the flooring.” Philippe Richard 8-Quart Pressure Cooker, Aluminum – A consumer recently reported that after only a few uses it exploded, gasket failed. The victim says she was burned on her abdomen.

Breville Fast Slow Cookers – According to the CPSC, the sealing gasket can be incorrectly inserted upside down on the lid which can allow the unexpected release of built-up pressure.
