Best Buy recalls Insignia pressure cookersAll pressure cookers manufactured by Insignia and sold at Best Buy are being recalled due to incorrect volume markings on the inner pot. This can cause customers to overfill the pot, leading to hot food and liquids potentially being ejected when the pressure cooker is vented using the quick release method or opened while its contents are pressurized. Affected products include Insignia pressure cookers that were sold between October 2017 and June 2023.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall on Oct. 26th after Best Buy received 31 reports of incidents, including 17 reports of second-degree and more severe burn injuries.
