Pressure cookers are kitchen appliances used to cook food quickly by using high pressure and steam. However, pressure cooker defects or malfunctions can lead to explosions, causing serious injuries and property damage.
Individuals affected by pressure cooker explosions may be eligible for compensation for their injuries, damages, and related expenses. Contact Phillips Law Group to determine whether or not you may have an eligible case.
Potential Pressure Cooker Injuries
Individuals who have been injured or suffered damages due to pressure cooker explosions may experience various injuries, including:
- Burns, scalds, or lacerations from hot liquids or steam
- Eye injuries and blindness
- Traumatic injuries from flying debris or parts of the pressure cooker
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
- Emotional distress or psychological trauma from the incident
- Property damage to surrounding areas or other items in the vicinity of the explosion
- …and more
Legal action is being pursued in many pressure cooker injury cases, with one complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida on April 2, 2024. In that instance, the Plaintiff claimed the lid of her Foodi Deluxe TenderCrisp Pressure Cooker “suddenly and unexpectedly” exploded off while she was using it.
