Exploding Pressure Cooker Results in Serious Burn Injuries and Lawsuit
A case was filed in late December 2020 in the United States District Court in Georgia related to severe injuries the plaintiff sustained from an exploding pressure cooker. The complaint alleges that a “Breville Fast-Slow Pro Pressure Cooker,” manufactured by Breville USA, Inc., had a defective “safety locking lid” that allowed the lid to come open even when under high cooking pressure, allowing the scalding hot contents to spray out and seriously injure the plaintiff.
