A growing number of customers are claiming that they have experienced serious power pressure cooker problems that, in some cases, have led to explosions, injuries, and burns. Some complaints cite defective parts, and others describe minor malfunctions.

According to these complaints, power pressure cooker problems have caused explosions that can spew boiling food and liquid onto anyone standing nearby. Some have reported suffering second- and third-degree burns from these power pressure cooker problems.

Reports of injuries from power pressure cooker problems have sparked a class action lawsuit investigation, which is focusing on the defects linked with the Elite Bistro Pressure Cooker. This device is manufactured by Maxi-Matic. You may be eligible to participate in the power pressure cooker problems investigation if you purchased an 8-Quart Elite Bistro Pressure Cooker from the Home Shopping Network between 2014 and 2015.

Power Pressure Cooker Problems

According to customer complaints, power pressure cooker problems can include defective parts and malfunctions, potentially causing explosions that can splatter boiling hot food and liquid onto victims, causing serious or even disfiguring burns.

Complaints over pressure cooker explosions claim that the lid of their pressure cooker suddenly blew off, projecting its boiling hot contents onto their skin. While these devices are highly pressurized, as indicated by the name itself, plaintiffs have reported that this happened even after depressurizing the device according to instructions.

Customers have also reported suffering from steam-related burns after the supposedly airtight seals of the device were broken prematurely, which allowed extremely hot steam to escape unexpectedly.

Complaints like these over power pressure cooker problems and injuries have been appearing online for years. Only recently has a class action lawsuit investigation been launched into these products. Besides the Elite Bistro Pressure Cooker, other pressure cooker manufacturers included in the investigation are:

• Aldi
• Crofton
• Cuisinart
• Other Max-Matic pressure cookers
• Tristar
• Wolfgang Puck
• and others

Filing a Lawsuit Over Power Pressure Cooker Problems

Several pressure cooker lawsuits have already been filed over explosions, burns, and various power pressure cooker problems against a number of companies, including Wolfgang Puck, Tristar, and Maxi-Matic. Lawsuits seek hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation for plaintiff injuries, claiming medical expenses, pain and suffering, permanent disfigurement, lost wages, damage to property, and more.

If you have suffered from pressure cooker burns after using an Elite Bistro Pressure Cooker or a device from one of these other manufacturers, you may be eligible to join a pressure cooker class action investigation. While a pressure cooker lawsuit cannot take away the pain and suffering caused by pressure cooker burns, it can help to alleviate the financial burden caused by medical expenses and lost wages.
