Recall Alert: This Crock-Pot Comes With Burn Risks
What is the Problem?
The problem is that the recalled Sunbeam CrockPot Pressure Cooker can build up pressure when the lid is not fully locked:
“This can cause the lid to suddenly detach while the product is in use, posing burn risks to consumers from hot food and liquids ejected from the product.”
Was My Sunbeam CrockPot Recalled?
The recall involves 6-Quart Sunbeam Crock-Pot Express Pressure Cookers with Model Number SCCPPC600-V1. They were sold at Walmart, Target, other stores and online at Amazon.com from July 2017 through November 2020 for about $70 to $100.
