August 14, 2024 — A pressure cooker lawsuit has been filed by a man who was burned when he opened the lid on his Power Pressure Cooker XL.
The plaintiff is a resident of Sarasota, Florida, who claims that Tristar Products misled him and other consumers about the safety features on the Power Pressure Cooker XL.
He claims that in March 2020, he was burned as a result of being able to twist open the lid on his Power Pressure Cooker XL when it was still pressurized.
Opening the lid resulted in the scalding-hot contents being ejected out of the pressure cooker and onto his body, according to his lawsuit.
His lawsuit quotes numerous statements about “safety features” on the Power Pressure Cooker XL. For example, a YouTube video makes the following claims: “The lid on the Power Pressure Cooker XL can only come off if there’s no pressure left inside the pot.”
The Power Pressure Cooker XL Owner’s Manual also states: “Lid Safety Device: Prevents pressure build-up if the lid is not closed properly and prevents the lid from opening until all of the pressure is released.
He accuses Tristar Products of selling defective pressure cookers that are unreasonably dangerous for their intended use.
His pressure cooker lawsuit was filed on March 15, 2024 in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial District (Sarasota County, Florida) — Filing #194123928.
