Instant Pot pressure cookers are very popular because they can cook meals so quickly. However, there is a risk of them exploding when manufacturing defects cause their parts to malfunction or break.
The pressure cookers are known to explode when parts such as locks, vents, lids, seals or gaskets are faulty. Those injured by these explosions have suffered burns, amputations, blindness, concussions, broken bones, disfigurement and home damage.
