Texas Woman Files Lawsuit for Pressure Cooker Burns

July 24, 2025 — A pressure cooker lawsuit has been filed by a woman from Texas who was severely burned on her face and upper body when it exploded.

The woman, Krystle J., is a resident of Harris County, Texas. She claims that in August 2024, she was burned by a Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker that exploded.

Her lawsuit specifically involves the Ninja Foodi Deluxe Tendercrisp Pressure Cooker (Model OP402Q, Serial Number X16KJ202A7R9).

According to her lawsuit, she was using the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker normally, when it suddenly exploded without any warning:

“Plaintiff attempted to use the Subject Pressure Cooker as instructed when, without warning, during typical use, the Subject Pressure Cooker exploded, causing severe burns to Plaintiff’s face, chest, arms, and upper torso.”

This product belongs to the OP400-series of pressure cookers, which combine an air fryer in the lid with a pressure cooking pot.

Earlier this year, SharkNinja recalled 1.8 million Ninja Foodi Pressure Cookers because the “lid can be opened during use, causing hot contents to escape,” according to the recall. There were reports of 106 burn injuries, including 50 people who suffered severe burns.

SharkNinja LLC has been hit by more than 26 lawsuits involving people who were burned by Ninja Foodi Pressure Cookers. These lawsuits accuse SharkNinja of selling defective products.

Her lawsuit was filed on July 2, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division) — Case 4:25-cv-03084.
