A recall has been issued for a Pressure Cooker sold by Best Buy due to a potential burn hazard.

The recall issued yesterday is for the Insignia Multi-Function Pressure Cookers.

The affected pressure cookers have either a six or eight-quart cooking capacity and operate on 120V.

The brand name Insignia appears on the front of each pressure cooker and on its permanent product label. These are the model numbers of the recalled pressure cookers:

• 6 QT Digital Pressure Cooker: NS-MC60SS9-C
• 8 QT Multi-Function Pressure Cooker: NS-MC80SS9-C

You can find the model numbers on the permanent product label or on the side of the cooker.

The recall is because the pressure cooker has incorrect volume markings on the inner pot which can result in overfilling. This creates the potential for hot foods and liquids to be ejected if the pressure cooker is vented using the quick release method or opened while the contents are pressurized, posing a potential burn hazard to consumers.

The inner cooking pots are black with a non-stick coating and embossed markings indicating cup and litre measurements.

Best Buy reported that about 10,155 affected Insignia pressure cookers were sold in Canada. The affected products were sold from October 2017 to June 2023.

As of September 22, 2023, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. However, it has received 31 reports of incidents & 17 of burn injuries in the US.

The recall notice advises users to immediately stop using the pressure cookers and contact Best Buy Canada for a free replacement of the inner pot and floating locking valve for signalling pressure.

For more information on the recall, you can contact Best Buy Canada at 1-888-359-4485 from 7 am to 6 pm CT Monday through Friday, or visit the company website.
