WASHINGTON (Michigan News Source) – Best Buy is recalling nearly one million pressure cookers and separate inner pots after a defect puts users as an increased risk for burns.
The recalled pressure cookers, sold under the brand Insignia, have incorrect volume markings on their inner pots that can cause consumers to overfill them. As a result, hot food and liquids can spew from the device during venting.

To date, Best Buy has received 31 incident reports of the cookers’ contents being expelled under pressure, including 17 reports of burn injuries.
The 930,000 Insignia Multi-Function Pressure Cookers and inner pots under recall were sold at Best Buy stores nationwide, as well as online on Best Buy’s website and Amazon from October 2017 through June of this year.
Consumers should stop using the device immediately and should contact Best Buy for a free replacement of the inner pot and floating locking valve.
Best Buy said in order to receive a replacement kit, impacted consumers must register online.
