Issue
The pressure cooker has incorrect volume markings on the inner pot. This can cause a consumer to overfill the pot and hot foods and liquids to be ejected if the pressure cooker is vented using the quick release method or opened while the contents are pressurized, posing a potential burn hazard to consumers.
As of September 22, 2023, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. In the United States, the company has received 31 reports of incidents and 17 reports of burn injuries.
What you should do
Consumers should immediately stop using the pressure cookers and contact Best Buy Canada for a free replacement of the inner pot and floating locking valve for signalling pressure.
