SharkNinja has issued a recall for approximately 1.8 million Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers because the pressure-cooking lid can be opened during use, allowing hot contents to escape and posing a significant burn hazard, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.

The recall follows 106 reports of burn injuries, including 50 second- or third-degree burns, which have resulted in at least 26 lawsuits.

The recalled pressure cookers

The recall affects all models within the Ninja Foodi OP300 Series, a multi-function appliances that serve as  pressure cookers, air fryers, slow cookers and more. These cookers, available in black with a 6.5-quart capacity, were sold nationwide at major retailers in-stores and online including Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, and Target, from January 2019 to March 2025. Each unit is marked with "Ninja" on the front.

Affected model numbers include:

  • OP300
  • OP301
  • OP301A
  • OP302
  • OP302BRN
  • OP302HCN
  • OP302HAQ
  • OP302HW
  • OP302HB
  • OP305
  • OP305CO
  • OP350CO

An additional code following the model number does not alter the model designation. For instance, a unit labeled “OP301 I07” is a model OP301 unit. Any OP300 series replacement pressure cooker lids purchased as an additional part are also included in this recall.

Advice to consumers

SharkNinja advises consumers to immediately stop using the pressure-cooking function and contact them for a free replacement lid. Other functions, such as air frying, remain safe to use.

Consumers should reach out to SharkNinja toll-free at 888-370-1733 or via email at sharkninja@rqa-inc.com or at their online recall page for assistance.

These pressure cookers were manufactured in China and imported by SharkNinja Operating LLC, based in Needham, Massachusetts. The recall number is 25-247.
