Pressure Cooker Recalls: Are Pressure Cookers Safe?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled various pressure cookersin recent years:
- Breville
- Crockpot
- Instant Pot
- Manttra
- Rena Ware
- Ultrex-Brand
- Welbilt
It is likely that other manufacturers may have pushed defective pressure cookers to market, as well. There have also been cases in which retailers have sold recalled pressure cookers to consumers, completely disregarding their safety for profit.
Other pressure cookers that may have the potential to explode include:

Can a Pressure Cooker Explode?
The potential for a modern pressure cooker to explode is often dismissed as a myth; however, defective pressure cooker explosions are a very real danger. Just because today’s pressure cookers have more safety features than those from the 1950s, such as multiple safety valves, that does not mean they carry no risk of injury at all.
Modern pressure cookers have exploded and been the subject of federal recalls due to various defects, including but not limited to:
- Faulty seals and gaskets
- Defective steam venting
- Defective safety valves and pins
- Failure to warn consumers of potential safety hazards
If any of the above defects are present, pressure can easily build up in the cooker and cause it to explode. Typically, this results in burns to the face and body so serious they require intensive medical care.
