Safety Concerns Behind the Recall
SharkNinja’s flagship Ninja Foodi OP300 Series pressure cookers are under federal recall after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) confirmed that lids on the appliances can open while still pressurized, expelling hot food and liquid. According to CBS News, more than 1.8 million units in the U.S. and an additional 184,000 in Canada are affected.
The defect has caused 106 reported injuries, including over 50 cases of second- and third-degree burns. SharkNinja acknowledged the hazard, stating, “The safety of our customers is a top priority,” and is now working with both the CPSC and Health Canada to manage the recall.

Immediate Consumer Action Required
Impacted consumers are urged to stop using the pressure-cooking function immediately. As reported by the Associated Press, SharkNinja is offering free replacement lids to resolve the issue.
“The pressure-cooking function should not be used,” the CPSC warns, “but consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying and other functions safely.” Affected units feature 6.5-quart capacities and were sold online and in stores through major retailers including Walmart, Target, and Amazon between August 2018 and October 2023.
Legal Fallout and Public Response
Beyond physical injuries, the recall has triggered a wave of legal actions. At least 26 lawsuits have been filed, alleging serious burns and long-term trauma caused by the defective lids. According to Fox News, multiple plaintiffs describe incidents where steam and scalding food were ejected unexpectedly during cooking.
Despite the controversy, SharkNinja continues to emphasize its commitment to consumer safety. “Consumers should immediately stop using the product’s pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid,” the company said in its official recall statement.
As litigation proceeds and regulators monitor compliance, this recall serves as a critical reminder of the importance of product safety in household appliances—particularly those that operate under high heat and pressure.
