1.8 million SharkNinja pressure cookers sold at Walmart, Costco, Target, and elsewhere have been recalled after serious burn injuries

SharkNinja has announced the voluntary recall of more than 1.8 million units of Foodi multi-function pressure cookers after more than 100 reports of burn injuries—many of them serious. Here’s what you need to know about the SharkNinja pressure cooker recall.

What’s happened?

On May 1, home appliance company SharkNinja issued a recall for some of its SharkNinja pressure cookers, according to a notice posted on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website.

The recall covers more than 1.8 million units of SharkNinja’s Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers. The recall was issued after the company received 106 reports of burn injuries from people interacting with the cookers.

The company has discovered that the pressure-cooking lids of the recalled units can be opened while the cooker is pressurized. This could result in “burn injuries from hot contents” in the cooker, according to the company’s recall notice.

In addition to the cooking units themselves, SharkNinja is also recalling lid replacements for the units that were sold separately.

SharkNinja says the recall covers the “Ninja”-brand “Foodi” OP300-series Pressure Cookers/TenderCrisp Air. The following model numbers of that series are being recalled:

How many SharkNinja OP300-series units are affected?

According to the notice posted on the CPSC website, about 1,846,400 units are being recalled, as well as about 184,240 that were sold in Canada.

Where were the recalled units sold?

According to the CPSC, the recalled pressure cookers were sold at some of the largest retailers nationwide. They were sold in both physical retail stores and online.

The physical retail stores where the recalled units were sold at include:

• Walmart
• Costco
• Sam’s Club
• Amazon
• Target

The recalled pressure cookers were also sold online at:

• walmart.com
• costco.com
• samsclub.com
• amazon.com

The recalled units were sold from January 2019 through March 2025. Each unit retailed for around $200.

Have the recalled products injured anyone?

Unfortunately, yes. SharkNinja says that it has received 106 reports of burn injuries involving the recalled products. 

Even worse, more than 50 of those injuries included second- or third-degree burns to a person’s body or face.

What should I do if I have a recalled product?

If you have the recalled pressure cooker or lid, you should immediately stop using the pressure cooker and ensure that no one else who has access to the pressure cooker uses it. You should then fill out the Ninja OP300 Series Recall form here. 

Once you’ve submitted the form, SharkNinja will send you a replacement lid. You should also dispose of your current faulty lid.
