LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – If you recently purchased Pressure cookers sold at popular stores like Target, Macy’s, JCPenney, Lowe’s, and Amazon, check your countertop. Some are being recalled due to a potential burn hazard.

Officials say the lids on the pressure cookers can unlock and move while in use. When that happens, it can cause the hot contents to “unexpectedly splash out” and increase the risk for burns.
Sensio, the company behind the pressure cookers, has reportedly received 63 reports of incidents stemming from the recall. The report tracks 61 burn injuries including second and third-degree burns to people’s faces, torsos, arms and hands.
If you have one of these pressure cookers, stop using them immediately and contact Sensio directly for a refund.
