SharkNinja markets the Foodi pressure-cooking lid as a safe, convenient way to pressure-cook, air-fry, and more in one appliance, sold widely at major retailers as an everyday kitchen multicooker.
CPSC's May 2025 recall notice documents a serious real defect specific to the OP300 Series: the pressure-cooking lid can be opened while the contents are still pressurized, causing hot contents to escape. SharkNinja received more than 100 reports of burn injuries, including more than 50 second- and third-degree burns to the face or body, and the defect has been the subject of 26 separate lawsuits. Roughly 1.8 million units were recalled, sold at major retailers including Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, and Target from January 2019 through March 2025.
A pressure cooker's core safety promise is that the lid cannot be opened while the contents are still under pressure -- that's the entire point of the mechanism. Over 100 real burn reports, more than half of them serious second- or third-degree burns, and 26 separate lawsuits describe a safety mechanism that specifically failed at its one job on a scale of nearly 2 million units.
