8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT: Warning involving nearly 400,000 pressure cookers
8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT (WAKA) – Nearly 400,000 pressure cookers are under scrutiny due to a burn risk.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says owners should stop using the Power Quick Pot Six-Quart Pressure Cooker immediately and dispose of them.
The lids can open while the cookers are still pressurized, causing hot contents to shoot out.
The agency has received 24 reports of the malfunction, resulting in serious burns.
The affected cookers were sold online and at retailers between 2018 and 2023.
The model number is y6d36. You can find it on the back of the cooker.
According to CNN, the importer has refused to issue a recall or offer a remedy to consumers.
