ST. PAUL, Minn., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson //
Becker, PLLC is a nationwide
products liability law firm with experience representing victims of
pressure cooker explosions. The firm represents over 300
clients who have been severely burned by exploding pressure cookers
designed and sold by numerous manufacturers.
Johnson // Becker filed this
Complaint alleging that Instant Brands, Inc., the manufacturer
of the Instant Pot pressure cooker, misrepresented the safety of
their pressure cookers. The Complaint was filed on behalf of Ms.
Lucy Perkins, a resident of
Utah.
Ms. Perkins's pressure cooker exploded while under
pressure on April 25,
2019. As a result of the explosion, Ms. Perkins
sustained severe thermal burns to her
body. According to the Complaint, the Instant Pot
is marketed as having "safety mechanisms" which are
supposed to prevent the unit from both building pressure if the lid
is not closed properly, as well as the lid from being removed until
all the pressure is released. However, Ms. Perkins
alleges that the Instant Pot pressure cookers contain defects which
allow unsuspecting consumers to remove the lid while the cooker is
still under pressure causing the scalding hot contents to be
projected from the unit.
