Pressure Cooker Explosion Lawsuit | Pressure Cooker Explosion Lawyers

A Louisiana woman has filed a lawsuit against Aldi, Inc. after being severely burned by an allegedly defective Ambiano 9-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker.

The plaintiff claims that the pressure cooker’s lid unexpectedly exploded off the pot, ejecting scalding-hot contents that caused significant burns to both her and her partner.

The incident occurred on February 21, 2023, while she was using the pressure cooker under normal conditions.

The lawsuit alleges that Aldi sold a product that was “unreasonably dangerous” due to defective safety features.

Specifically, the complaint accuses the pressure cooker of failing to prevent the lid from being removed while the unit was still pressurized, putting users at serious risk of injury.

The plaintiff seeks damages for bodily injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, mental anguish, and a diminished quality of life.

Aldi, along with several other manufacturers, is facing hundreds of similar lawsuits related to defective pressure cookers.

Over 700 lawsuits have been filed by individuals who suffered burns from pressure cookers with faulty safety mechanisms.

More than 1 million pressure cookers have been recalled in recent years due to these defects.

Target was recently named in a lawsuit filed by a plaintiff who purchased a defective Instant Pot at a Target location.

The new product liability lawsuit, case 0:24-cv-02682, has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.

The lawsuit involves a pressure cooker, specifically the “Instant Pot Duo Crisp,” marketed by Target Corporation and Midea America Corp.

The plaintiff suffered severe burn injuries when the pressure cooker’s lid was removed while still under pressure, causing hot contents to be forcefully ejected.

The lawsuit claims the pressure cooker has dangerous defects despite being advertised as safe.

The lawsuit alleges that the defendants knew about the defects but continued selling the product without proper warnings or recalls.

The plaintiff seeks compensation for medical expenses, physical pain, and mental anguish resulting from the injuries.

This case is part of a growing number of lawsuits against various retailers and manufacturers of electronic pressure cookers.

These lawsuits claim that despite marketed safety features, the devices are prone to explosions when the lid is removed prematurely.

The Pressure Cooker lawsuit is ongoing and our lawyers are still accepting cases from those who have been affected by faulty appliances.

Pressure cooker lawsuits have seen a significant increase as more consumers report injuries caused by defective products.

The lawsuits primarily involve claims of burns, explosions, and other severe injuries resulting from faulty pressure cooker designs and manufacturing defects.

The core arguments in the pressure cooker lawsuits revolve around:

• Defective Design: Plaintiffs argue that the design of the pressure cookers is inherently unsafe, leading to pressure buildup and potential explosions.
• Manufacturing Defects: Allegations include that manufacturing flaws in the pressure cookers compromise the integrity of the devices, making them prone to malfunction.
• Failure to Warn: Many lawsuits claim that manufacturers failed to provide adequate warnings about the potential dangers and proper usage instructions for the pressure cookers.

In response to the increasing litigation, consumer safety advocates recommend the following precautions when using pressure cookers:

• Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Adhere strictly to the usage guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
• Regular Maintenance: Ensure that safety valves and seals are in good condition and replace them as needed.
• Stay Vigilant: Avoid using pressure cookers that show signs of damage or wear.

Over the years, dozens of brands have recalled models of electric pressure cookers for risks of malfunction that lead to explosions, ejection of hot liquid, and other potential injury risks.

A pressure cooker is a sealed pot with a valve that controls the steam pressure inside.

As the pot heats up, the liquid inside the pressure cooker forms steam, which raises the pressure in the pot.

This high pressure helps cook food faster by raising the boiling point of water and forcing moisture into the food.

The pressure cooker’s design allows it to seal in steam, which increases the internal pressure and temperature.

Pressure cookers can explode or malfunction if the steam is released suddenly, which can happen due to several reasons.

These include overfilling the cooker, using it with insufficient liquid, or a faulty pressure cooker with a malfunction of the sealing gasket or the pressure release mechanisms.

Recent Pressure Cooker Recalls:

Recently recalled pressure cookers include those by Insignia and Sensio.

These pressure cookers were recalled due to hazards like incorrect volume markings and lids that could unlock during use, posing serious burn risks.

Insignia recalled about 930,000 units for issues including overfilling risks that could lead to burns when opening the cooker.

Sensio recalled 860,000 units because the cooker’s lid could unlock and be removed during use, causing hot contents to splash out.

If you’ve been injured by a pressure cooker, you may have the grounds to file a personal injury claim.

Necessary evidence could include proof of purchase, medical records for any injuries, documentation of the malfunction (such as photos or a defective product), and a detailed account of the incident .

If you or a loved one have suffered injuries or severe burns after your pressure cooker exploded, you may be eligible to file a Pressure Cooker Lawsuit against the manufacturer.

The CPSC has also documented incidents involving the Insignia pressure cookers, where users have sustained burns due to the malfunction of these appliances.

Individuals injured by these defective products may have grounds for a lawsuit due to the harm caused by the malfunctioning appliances.

A Class Action Lawsuit has been filed against Best Buy for the purchase of certain recalled Insignia Pressure cookers.

The lawsuit alleges that the inner pot’s incorrect volume markings could lead to overfilling, causing hot foods and liquids to eject during venting or when under pressure.

The plaintiff claims consumers were misled about the product’s safety and seeks to represent those who purchased the recalled models.

Our law firm is currently not involved in class action lawsuits for pressure cooker defects. 

However, we are currently accepting new clients who have suffered injuries from exploding pressure cookers.

Pressure Cooker Injury Lawsuits are handled differently than class actions, as they typically involve individual claims of injury or damages resulting from specific incidents related to the product’s alleged defect or negligence.

In such cases, plaintiffs may pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages through personal injury lawsuits filed against the manufacturer or other responsible parties.

These lawsuits often require demonstrating a direct link between the product’s defect or the defendant’s negligence and the plaintiff’s injuries, making them distinct from class actions, which typically involve a large group of plaintiffs alleging similar claims against a defendant.

If you or a loved one have suffered injuries or severe burns after your pressure cooker exploded, you may be eligible to file a Pressure Cooker Lawsuit against the manufacturer.

Kitchenware giant Instant Brands, known for its popular Instant Pot, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The company reported liabilities and assets ranging between $500 million and $1 billion.

Instant Brands will continue its operations with the help of $132.5 million in new financing during the bankruptcy process.

The company’s financial position has been affected by tightened credit terms and higher interest rates.

Sales of its electric pressure cooker, once a kitchen staple, have declined by 50% over the past three (3) years.

Instant Brands experienced a seventh consecutive quarter of sales decline, which it attributes to macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges.

The company finished March with $95 million in cash and has around $510 million in bank debt.

Additionally, the bankruptcy filing follows a Federal Trade Commission order for Instant Brands to cease falsely claiming that its Pyrex products are made in the U.S., as many are manufactured in China.

Our Pressure Cooker Lawyers are talking to potential clients about their cases and strategizing the best course of action for each unique situation. 

There have been several lawsuits filed against the manufacturers of certain pressure cooker models that have exploded and injured consumers.

Some of these lawsuits are filed individually as personal injury or product liability claims.

Others have been consolidated into one district court for efficiency of handling a mass amount of claims regarding the same product.

One consolidated Pressure Cooker Lawsuit, concerning Sunbeam brand pressure cookers, is consolidated in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The most recent developments in that case entail the federal judge presiding over the case having made a mixed ruling on a motion to dismiss filed by the defense.

Four plaintiffs in the case allege that they sustained significant physical injuries when their Sunbeam pressure cookers exploded, claiming it was due to a design defect.

They have brought tort claims against Newell Brands, Inc., the parent company of Sunbeam.

Additionally, a group of plaintiffs have filed claims in the form of a class action on behalf of a nationwide group of individuals who purchased potentially defective Sunbeam products in multiple states.

The judge dismissed most of the consumer class action claims, but allowed the consumer claims based on breach of an express warranty to proceed.

Furthermore, a consolidation of pressure cooker lawsuits against Sunbeam has taken place in Florida state court in the Circuit Court located in Palm Beach County.
