Exploding Pressure Cooker Lawsuits
A growing number of consumers have filed lawsuits after they were burned by pressure cookers that exploded. In many cases, these lawsuits involve pressure cookers that were advertised as having built-in “safety features” that were supposed to prevent explosions.
Why Do Pressure Cookers Blow Up?
In practice, food explosions occur when consumers are able to open the lid when the pot contains a dangerous amount of pressure. The result is an explosion of boiling-hot sticky foods and scalding steam.
Scalding burns can cover large sections of skin in 1st-degree or 2nd-degree burns. Furthermore, food can stick to a person’s skin and clothing, causing devastating 2nd-degree and 3rd-degree burns.
Burn Injuries From Exploding Pressure Cookers
These injuries from an exploding pressure cooker can be devastating. Many people are hospitalized and suffer costly medical treatment, time off work, painful skin grafting and debridement, as well as permanent scarring, or worse — blindness, infection, and even death.
