A federal lawsuit has been filed against Instant Brands by an Alabama woman who claims to have suffered disfigurement after using its Instant Pot pressure cooker. The lawsuit, filed on March 14, 2023, in federal court in Alabama, alleges that the woman would use the Instant Pot to prepare family meals until one day, “scalding hot” food unexpectedly burst out and burned her. The complaint claims that this incident resulted in lasting disfigurement for the woman.
The complaint also accuses Instant Brands of selling pressure cookers with dangerous defects and falsely advertising them as safe. The company sells several Instant Pot models, including the Instant Pot IP-LUX Electric Pressure Cooker that the woman claims caused her injury. Instant Brands has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
The woman is represented by a product liability law firm. Her lawsuit seeks to recover damages for past, present, and future physical and emotional pain.
The complaint alleges that the design of the product is supposed to prevent consumers from lifting the Instant Pot lids, which are meant to remain locked, while the cooker is pressurized. However, the woman claims that she was able to open and rotate the pressure cooker’s lid while it was pressurized, causing its hot contents to burst out and burn her. The complaint argues that the product was negligently designed and that Instant Brands ignored defects to prioritize profit over safety. The lawsuit was filed on March 13, 2023, and includes counts of negligence and wantonness.
If a defective product has injured you, you may have a valid product liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or seller of the product.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
