Beware Of Pressure Cooker Injuries

Christopher Wilson

Many home cooks are wary of using pressure cookers and for good reasons. Injuries can and have occurred with new Instant Pots and other brands. Read below for some safety tips and what to do when you are hurt by a pressure cooker. 

Safety Precautions When Using a Pressure Cooker

Pressure cookers use steam pressure to cook food quickly. While they can be a convenient tool for cooking, they also pose some risks of injury. Here are some things to keep in mind to prevent pressure cooker injuries:

Follow the instructions

Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully before using a pressure cooker. 

Use caution when releasing pressure

Pressure cookers can build up a lot of steam pressure inside, so it's important to be cautious when releasing pressure. Always follow the instructions for releasing pressure, and make sure the pressure has fully released before attempting to open the lid.

Don't overfill the cooker

Overfilling a pressure cooker can cause the contents to overflow and potentially burn you. 

Inspect the cooker regularly

Check the pressure cooker's gasket, valves, and other parts regularly to ensure they are clean and in good condition. 

Keep children and pets away

Pressure cookers can be dangerous, so it's important to keep children and pets away from them when in use or when cooling down.

Avoid using damaged cookers

Don't use a pressure cooker that has a damaged or warped lid or any other visible damage, as this can increase the risk of injury.

Damages After an Injury 

If you have suffered a pressure cooker injury, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages:

Medical expenses

You may be able to recover the cost of medical treatment for your injuries, including hospital stays, surgery, medication, and rehabilitation.

Lost wages

If you had to take time off work due to your injury, you may be able to recover lost wages or income.

Pain and suffering

You may be entitled to compensation for physical pain, emotional suffering, and other forms of distress caused by your injury.

Disfigurement or disability

If your injury has caused permanent scarring, disfigurement, or disability, you may be able to recover compensation for these damages.

Punitive damages

In some cases, a court may award punitive damages to punish particularly egregious actions. For instance, the manufacturer may have known about a defective part but did not act to protect consumers.

The types and amounts of damages that you may be able to recover will depend on the specific facts of your case. To determine your legal options and the damages you may be entitled to, it's important to consult with a personal injury attorney who can advise you on your rights and legal options.
