Crock-Pot Pressure Cooker Lawyers

Crock-Pot is one of the most recognized names in kitchen appliances. Known for its slow cookers, the brand also sells pressure cookers. But Crock-Pot pressure cookers have been linked to explosions, burns, and property damage. In fact, a major recall was issued after reports that certain Crock-Pot units allowed lids to detach under pressure, causing scalding injuries.

If you or a loved one were injured by a Crock-Pot pressure cooker, you may be entitled to bring a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin can handle cases involving defective pressure cookers, including Crock-Pot models.

Why Crock-Pot Pressure Cookers May Be Dangerous

While marketed as safe, Crock-Pot pressure cookers can fail due to:

Faulty lid locks – Allowing lids to detach before pressure is released.
Defective gaskets or seals – Causing hot steam and food to erupt suddenly.
Broken valves – Failing to regulate pressure correctly.
Electrical malfunctions – Overheating or sparking in electronic models.
Inadequate warnings – Insufficient instructions about proper use.

Types of Injuries Reported

Crock-Pot pressure cooker accidents may cause:

Second- and third-degree burns
Permanent scarring and disfigurement
Nerve damage
Eye injuries from splattering food
Smoke inhalation or property damage from fires
