The 27-page SharkNinja lawsuit contends that although the appliance manufacturer touts the pressure cookers as safe, high-quality products, the cookers’ lids can be opened during use, causing the hot contents to escape and potentially burn consumers.

The company announced a recall of roughly 1,846,400 Ninja Foodi multi-function pressure cookers on May 1, 2025, including those bearing model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO.

According to the recall announcement, SharkNinja has received more than 100 reports of burn injuries, with approximately half being second- or third-degree burns to the face or body. More than 20 lawsuits have been filed as of the May 1 recall announcement, the class action suit says.

Per the complaint, the pressure cookers at issue were sold between January 2019 and March 2025 for around $200 at Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club and Target, and on Amazon.com and NinjaKitchen.com.

Consumers such as the plaintiff, a California resident, purchased the products with the reasonable belief that they were appropriately designed, free from defects, and safe for their intended purpose, the filing contends. In truth, however, buyers unknowingly received “dangerous, inoperable, and worthless” pressure cookers, the suit alleges.

Indeed, the plaintiff claims he would not have bought the pressure cooker had he known it was defective.

The class action lawsuit looks to represent all United States residents who purchased a recalled SharkNinja pressure cooker between January 2019 and March 2025.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission urges consumers to immediately stop using the Ninja Foodi’s pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid. The CPSC added that consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying function.
