Like many people in California and across the country this holiday season, you received an Instant Pot. Now, you have heard stories about this popular product overheating and presenting a fire danger. You can rest assured that your Instant Pot cooker is most likely not a danger to your home and family, but the incident may serve as a reminder of how important it is to keep up on the latest recalls or reports of products causing accidents or injuries.
The Instant Pot incident in question did not involve the cooker you received for Christmas, but instead concerned certain batches of the company’s Gem 65 8-in-1 Multicooker. In addition to slow-cooking, steaming, roasting and baking foods, some consumers reported their cookers overheated and melted parts of the appliance. There were no reports of injuries or property damage, but the company is offering replacements to those who own the affected cookers.
