If you have a SharkNinja pressure cooker, definitely pay attention to this newly issued recall: SharkNinja, a product design and technology company based in Needham, Massachusetts, is recalling its SharkNinja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers.
The reason? “The pressure-cooking lid can be opened during use, causing hot contents to escape, posing a risk of burn injuries to consumers,” according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall, which was issued on May 1, affects all Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers — about 1,846,400 appliances sold in the United States as well as about 184,240 sold in Canada. The units have the following model numbers printed on a side label: OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO. (These model numbers may be followed by an additional code, which need not be considered in conjunction with the recall.)
Additionally, OP300 series pressure cooker lids purchased separately as replacements are included in the recall.
The recalled cookers feature pressure cooking and air frying functionality; are black in color; have a capacity of 6.5 quarts; and have the word “Ninja” printed on both the front and the product label.
If you have one of the recalled products, you are advised to immediately stop using its pressure-cooking function and get in touch with SharkNinja to request a free replacement lid. You can, however, continue to use the cooker’s air frying and other functions, according to the CPSC.
Thus far, SharkNinja says it has received 106 reports of burn injuries related to the pressure cookers. Of those injury reports, more than 50 resulted in second- or third-degree burns to someone’s face or body. Twenty-six lawsuits related to the recalled pressure cooker have been filed.
The cookers were made in China and sold for about $200 — from January 2019 to March 2025 — across the United States at Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Amazon and Target stores as well online by those retailers. They were also sold at ninjakitchen.com.
Questions about the recall should be directed to SharkNinja. Consumers can call toll-free at 888-370-1733 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Saturday.
