What Happened with the Pressure Cooker?

In the recent case filed in federal court in Massachusetts, the Plaintiff experienced a horrifying incident. Her Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker malfunctioned, resulting in severe burns.

She was making a beef stew when the cooker appeared to depressurize. Accordingly, she reasonably believed it was safe to open.

Unfortunately, when she tried to remove the lid, it suddenly popped. Scalding hot food and steam escaped. Plaintiff suffered severe burns on her abdomen and left arm. One can only image the emotional distress she endured.

Legal Claims Concerning the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker

This exemplar lawsuit raises several claims. These areas include negligence in design, failure to warn, and breaches of both implied and express warranties. Plaintiff also alleges the design of the pressure cooker was dangerous since the lid opened while still pressurized.
