Pressure cookers sold at JCPenney, Target recalled due to possible burn hazard on August 12, 2023 at 2:25 am Business News | The Hill

(NEXSTAR) — New York-based Sensio Inc. is recalling about 860,000 of its pressure cookers, which were sold under various brand names at several major retailers across the U.S. The company says it’s received 63 incident reports, including 61 burn injuries — some injuries included second and third-degree burns to faces, torsos, arms and hands.

According to the recall, the lids of the electric and stovetop pressure cookers can unintentionally unlock and be removed during cooking, “causing the hot contents to unexpectedly splash out.”

The recalled electric pressure cookers were produced under the brand names Bella, Bella Pro Series, Crux, and Cooks, while the recalled stovetop pressure cookers were made under the Bella brand name. Item and model numbers should be found on labels or stamps on the bottom of the cookers.
