A Louisiana woman has filed a lawsuit against Aldi, Inc. after being severely burned by an allegedly defective Ambiano 9-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker.
The plaintiff claims that the pressure cooker’s lid unexpectedly exploded off the pot, ejecting scalding-hot contents that caused significant burns to both her and her partner.

Over the years, dozens of brands have recalled models of electric pressure cookers for risks of malfunction that lead to explosions, ejection of hot liquid, and other potential injury risks.
A pressure cooker is a sealed pot with a valve that controls the steam pressure inside.
As the pot heats up, the liquid inside the pressure cooker forms steam, which raises the pressure in the pot.
This high pressure helps cook food faster by raising the boiling point of water and forcing moisture into the food.
The pressure cooker’s design allows it to seal in steam, which increases the internal pressure and temperature.
Pressure cookers can explode or malfunction if the steam is released suddenly, which can happen due to several reasons.
These include overfilling the cooker, using it with insufficient liquid, or a faulty pressure cooker with a malfunction of the sealing gasket or the pressure release mechanisms.
Recent Pressure Cooker Recalls:
Recently recalled pressure cookers include those by Insignia and Sensio.
These pressure cookers were recalled due to hazards like incorrect volume markings and lids that could unlock during use, posing serious burn risks.
Insignia recalled about 930,000 units for issues including overfilling risks that could lead to burns when opening the cooker.
Sensio recalled 860,000 units because the cooker’s lid could unlock and be removed during use, causing hot contents to splash out.
If you’ve been injured by a pressure cooker, you may have the grounds to file a personal injury claim.
Necessary evidence could include proof of purchase, medical records for any injuries, documentation of the malfunction (such as photos or a defective product), and a detailed account of the incident .
If you or a loved one have suffered injuries or severe burns after your pressure cooker exploded, you may be eligible to file a Pressure Cooker Lawsuit against the manufacturer.

A Class Action Lawsuit has been filed against Best Buy for the purchase of certain recalled Insignia Pressure cookers.
The lawsuit alleges that the inner pot’s incorrect volume markings could lead to overfilling, causing hot foods and liquids to eject during venting or when under pressure.

Instant Brands will continue its operations with the help of $132.5 million in new financing during the bankruptcy process.
The company’s financial position has been affected by tightened credit terms and higher interest rates.
Sales of its electric pressure cooker, once a kitchen staple, have declined by 50% over the past three (3) years.
Instant Brands experienced a seventh consecutive quarter of sales decline, which it attributes to macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges.
The company finished March with $95 million in cash and has around $510 million in bank debt.
Additionally, the bankruptcy filing follows a Federal Trade Commission order for Instant Brands to cease falsely claiming that its Pyrex products are made in the U.S., as many are manufactured in China.

Our Pressure Cooker Lawyers are talking to potential clients about their cases and strategizing the best course of action for each unique situation.
There have been several lawsuits filed against the manufacturers of certain pressure cooker models that have exploded and injured consumers.
Some of these lawsuits are filed individually as personal injury or product liability claims.
Others have been consolidated into one district court for efficiency of handling a mass amount of claims regarding the same product.
One consolidated Pressure Cooker Lawsuit, concerning Sunbeam brand pressure cookers, is consolidated in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
The most recent developments in that case entail the federal judge presiding over the case having made a mixed ruling on a motion to dismiss filed by the defense.
Four plaintiffs in the case allege that they sustained significant physical injuries when their Sunbeam pressure cookers exploded, claiming it was due to a design defect.
They have brought tort claims against Newell Brands, Inc., the parent company of Sunbeam.
Additionally, a group of plaintiffs have filed claims in the form of a class action on behalf of a nationwide group of individuals who purchased potentially defective Sunbeam products in multiple states.
The judge dismissed most of the consumer class action claims, but allowed the consumer claims based on breach of an express warranty to proceed.
Furthermore, a consolidation of pressure cooker lawsuits against Sunbeam has taken place in Florida state court in the Circuit Court located in Palm Beach County.
If you or a loved one have suffered injuries or severe burns after your pressure cooker exploded, you may be eligible to file a Pressure Cooker Lawsuit against the manufacturer.

Pressure Cookers can suffer from defects of design.
These defects can risk explosion of the device itself, potentially seriously injuring those around it.
Defects may exist in many pressure cooker brands and types, including electric pressure cookers and stovetop pressure cookers.
The most common defect with pressure cookers is the lack of proper design to safely release built up steam pressure.
If the high pressure inside a pressure cooker isn’t safely released, it can cause an explosion upon opening the device.
From a lid that just flies right off, to a gasket blown, to extremely heated water and hot contents spewing all around, a pressure cooker explosion can cause serious injury to a user.
Pressure cooker lids can shatter and act as shrapnel, hot steam and hot food can cause third degree burns, and even the pressure cooker safety mechanisms can become projectiles.
Several brands of electric pressure cookers have been found to have defective parts and safety features that may jeopardize the safety of users.
Common causes of pressure cooker explosions include:
The rubber sealing rings around the top of the cooker that fail to keep the inside of the pressure cooker airtight.
A faulty gasket is a leading cause for pressure cooker explosions.
Lid locking safety features that are ineffective can be easily overcome and allow the lid to be open even with a pressurized pressure cooker.
Defects on a pressure cooker’s lid are a major source of concern.
Defective vents and ducts meant to release steam can be insufficient, leading to explosions.
Faulty release valves can create an unstable level of pressure that can cause a pressure cooker to explode.
In electrical pressure cookers, faulty wiring can cause electrocutions and digital indication malfunction of the device.
When the device incorrectly lets the user know about the status of the pressure cooker (i.e. signaling that it is safe to open the pressure cooker when the user should not).
Several brands of electric pressure cookers have been found to have defective parts and safety features that pose significant risks to users.
These defects can lead to dangerous pressure cooker explosions, causing severe burns, property damage, and other serious injuries.
Common causes of pressure cooker explosions include:
With pressure cookers often heating to 200 degrees or more, an injury resulting from a poorly designed or defective device can leave 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns.
If severe enough, these burns can even leave permanent scars or worse, call for the need of amputation.
With enough pressure, a pressure cooker could violently explode and dispel shrapnel in all directions, potentially striking the face and body of anyone nearby.
Injuries from defective pressure cookers often result in permanent scarring and disfigurement.
Scarring and disfigurement can impact a person’s quality of life long after the pressure cooker exploded.
Permanent scarring and disfigurement often require future medical treatments that are expensive and burdensome.
Mental and physical therapy is common in burn victims and those disfigured or disabled by exploding pressure cookers.
As the main debris of the explosion is steam and highly heated water, contact with electrical outlets or circuits on electrical pressure cookers can cause electrocution injuries such as electrical shocks and burns.
An explosion from a pressure cooker can severely affect those around the device, including damage to eyes and face, leaving some victims blind.
The force at which a pressure cooker explodes may also be strong enough to cause a traumatic brain injury.
Burns, electrocutions and injuries caused by the explosions can range from less serious to extremely serious catastrophic injuries.
If a catastrophic injury is severe enough, an exploding pressure cooker can be the cause of death to anyone nearby.
If you are representing an individual who suffered fatal injuries due to a pressure cooker explosion, you may qualify for a wrongful death lawsuit.
By law, manufacturers are required to adhere to minimum safety standards to ensure product functionality and user safety.
If you’ve been the victim to a pressure cooker explosion, you may be entitled to participate a defective pressure cooker lawsuit.
If you have been injured by a defective pressure cooker, or severely burned due to an exploding pressure cooker, you may be entitled to compensation paid by the manufacturer.

Our law firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means we DO NOT charge for legal representation unless your case ends in success.
If you are interested in receiving a refund or some financial compensation for the cost of the pressure cooker, a class action may be right for you.
If you are seeking compensation for losses related to a defective pressure cooker explosion, such as injuries or property damage, you should consider filling an individual defective pressure cooker lawsuit claim.
Class action lawsuits are, by design, a single solution to fit all.
They are the best option for a lawsuit involving a large number of people who have suffered the exact same financial loss.
Class actions allows for equal distribution of settlement money among claimants.
But, for those with the most severe injuries, a class action lawsuit may not offer a solution to the full spectrum of costs that they face as a result of their injury.
Individual claims are the better choice for victims that want to be properly compensated.
Individual claims create a better environment where the client is the focus and in control.
With the help of the attorneys at TorHoerman Law, a Pressure Cooker Lawsuit can yield the best result to recover damages you incurred from your accident.
Product liability refers to the liability of a manufacturer and/or seller of any product for placing an injury-causing or defective product into the hand of a consumer.
A pressure cooker explosion is the result of a defective pressure cooker, making it eligible for a product liability claim.
Product liability claims against pressure cooker manufacturers typically fall into three (3) categories:
A defectively manufactured product claim is when the manufacturing process (or assembly) of the product differs from its intended design, fails to perform safely, and causes injury to the consumer.
The intended design of the product is said to be safe, with all possible care was exercised in the preparation and marketing of the product, yet an error in the manufacturing process makes the product unsafe.
This results in the manufacturer being liable for damages.
In the case of a faulty pressure cooker, a manufacturing error may have created weaker lid locks or left debris in the release value of the pressure cookers made.
A defectively designed product claim is when a product is inherently unsafe to the consumer (and people around) due to an unseen (or ignored) flaw in the design of the product.
The design of the product is unsafe if it fails to perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would expect when used as intended.
These design defects come before anything is even made and often affects the entire line of products.
With a defectively designed product, the manufacturing process is alleged to have built the product correctly according to the defective design and specification.
In the case of a defective pressure cooker, the original design for the pressure valve was flawed allowing for pressure build up, or the lid was designed to not fit properly, increasing the risk of a pressure cooker explosion.
Also referred to as “defectively marketed”, a Failure to Warn product claim involves injury to a consumer that results from failure to provide proper warnings describing potential risks and injuries that may result from use of the product.
These potential risks and injuries are often not obvious to the user and sometimes requires special precautions or diligence in use of the product.
In the case of a flawed pressure cooker, not ensuring the user knows that the contents of a pressurized pressure cooker can inflict serious damage if opened before being de-pressurized, makes the manufacturer liable for any injury resulting from a pressure cooker explosion.
The civil litigation process requires extreme attention to detail and can be overwhelming for someone who does not possess extensive legal knowledge.
A defective pressure cooker lawyer will need to be able to prove the liability of the manufacturer for any injuries that you have suffered.
Additionally, you will be obligated to show proof of mitigation, meaning that you have made a concerted effort to treat your injuries.
It is imperative to file your claim as soon as possible.
If you wait too long, the statute of limitations may expire, and your claim will become void.
If have been a victim of a pressure cooker explosion, see your doctor as soon as possible to receive the care necessary and see if surgery or immediate care will be needed.
It’s important to treat any injury related to a pressure cooker explosion as early as possible.
Make sure to follow orders from medical professionals and do everything in your power to mitigate future economic impacts related to your injury.

A pressure cooker can explode due to a variety of reasons, such as incorrectly installed seals or faulty gaskets.
Here are the seven (7) most common factors that cause pressure cookers to explode:
Pressure Cookers, also commonly known as “instant pots”, are airtight cooking devices that use a sealed chamber to trap steam heat to quickly cook food.
By trapping the heat from boiling water in a pot with a sealed lid, high pressure steam is produced and permits cooking temperatures to reach as high as 266° F (130° C).
With these higher temperatures, pressure cookers significantly can shorten cooking times – often between half and a quarter the time for conventional boiling.
Since there is no evaporation, pressure cookers are also known to extract flavor more efficiently from foods with minimal to no loss of nutrient content.
Since there is no evaporation, pressure cookers are also known to extract flavor more efficiently from foods with minimal to no loss of nutrient content.
Recalls are issued when pressure cooker defects, such as faulty gaskets or malfunctioning release valves, create significant safety hazards for users.
The Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) works to identify and remove these dangerous products from the market to prevent further injuries.
As defects are being reported by consumers, the following brands are being recalled by the Consumer Protection Safety Commission:
Several pressure cookers have been named in lawsuits that allege serious injuries from explosions and other defects, such as Instant Pot pressure cookers.
Particular models name in Pressure Cooker Explosion Lawsuits include, but are not limited to:
A pressure cooker lawsuit can arise when a pressure cooker explodes, causing severe burns or other injuries.
These incidents often occur due to defects in the cooking process, such as faulty seals, malfunctioning release valves, or improper pressure regulation during pressure cooking.
When pressure cooker incidents result in injuries, victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages caused by the defective product.
Pressure cooker explosions can lead to a variety of injuries, ranging from mild to life-threatening.
Common injuries include second- and third-degree burns from the scalding hot liquids or steam released during an explosion.
Flying debris from the appliance can cause cuts, bruises, and even more serious injuries such as eye trauma.
In extreme cases, victims may suffer from traumatic brain injuries or broken bones, depending on the force of the explosion and the proximity to the device when the incident occurs.
These injuries often require immediate medical attention and ongoing treatment.
If a defective pressure cooker caused significant property damage, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
Pressure cooker explosions can result in damage to kitchen appliances, countertops, floors, and surrounding areas due to the blast of hot steam, liquids, or flying debris.
If the explosion was caused by a manufacturing defect, such as a faulty seal or malfunctioning safety feature, you may be able to seek compensation not only for personal injuries but also for property repairs or replacement costs.
Consulting with a product liability attorney can help you establish liability and determine your eligibility for compensation.
