Injured by a Pressure Cooker or Crock Pot?

You may be able to claim substantial damages.

Defective cookers are causing harm!

Defective and dangerous cookers have caused serious harm to users and their families, including:

2nd and 3rd degree burns
Scarring, disfigurement and discoloration
Injuries to the eyes and other sensitive areas
Skin infections

Pressure cookers work by sealing steam inside.

When cooking is finished, the steam pressure is supposed to be released safely before the lid is opened. But these cookers aren’t releasing steam properly.

This means the cookers are exploding and causing serious injuries.

Injuries are caused by the cooker, not you

If you have been injured you might think it’s your own fault.

However, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for nearly one million pressure cookers

They found incorrect volume markings on the inner pot which were creating hazards.

Best Buy quickly announced a product recall.

News reports indicate 31 cases of pressurized food or liquid expulsion and 17 burn injuries, including severe and second-degree burns.
