Three kitchen appliance recalls drove headlines in 2025, pulling more than 3.1 million pressure cookers, countertop ovens and espresso makers off shelves and out of homes after reports of burns and lacerations. The recalls landed during what federal regulators call a record-setting year for product safety action.
Pressure Cookers Top the List
The largest single recall came from SharkNinja, which pulled approximately 1,846,400 Foodi Multi-Function Pressure Cookers in the United States, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice issued May 1, 2025. The affected OP300 series models, sold since January 2019 for around $200, have a pressure-cooking lid that can open while the unit is still under pressure, releasing hot contents. CPSC logged 106 reported burn injuries, more than 50 of them second- or third-degree, along with 26 lawsuits. The fix requires consumers to stop using the pressure function and request a free replacement lid; the air fryer and other functions remain safe to use.
Countertop Ovens Recalled Over Door Hazard
Sunbeam Products followed in September with a recall of roughly 1.29 million Oster French Door Countertop Ovens, per the CPSC notice dated September 25, 2025. Models TSSTTVFDXL, TSSTTVFDDG, TSSTTVFDMAF and TSSTTVFDDAF, sold since August 2015 for $140 to $250, have doors that can unexpectedly swing closed while a user is reaching inside. CPSC received 95 reports of doors closing unexpectedly, including two second-degree burns. The remedy is a free, no-tools clip-on repair kit that helps hold the door open.
Espresso Machines Add to the Tally
A smaller but more severe hazard turned up in Sensio’s steam espresso makers. The company recalled about 12,300 units of the Bella Pro Series (model 90195) and Cooks (model 22395) steam espresso makers, sold through JCPenney and Best Buy between August 2023 and January 2025, according to the March 20, 2025 CPSC recall. The brew cup handle can forcefully eject during use, shattering the glass carafe. CPSC recorded 18 handle-ejection incidents and eight injuries involving burns or lacerations. Consumers are eligible for a full refund.
A Record-Breaking Year for CPSC
These recalls arrived amid what the agency itself has flagged as an unusually active enforcement stretch. A September 18, 2025 CPSC statement reported 376 recalls and safety warnings issued in 2025, surpassing 2024’s total of 369 more than 100 days early. Acting Chairman Peter A. Feldman said “this milestone reflects a renewed focus on the Commission’s core enforcement mission.”
What Consumers Should Do
Check any pressure cooker, countertop oven or steam espresso maker against its model number on CPSC.gov before continuing to use it. If your appliance matches a recalled model, stop using the affected function immediately and contact the manufacturer for the free repair, replacement or refund. Register new kitchen appliances at purchase so manufacturers can reach you directly if a recall is issued later.
