SharkNinja recalls more than 1.8 million pressure cookers over burn injury reports
Over one million pressure cookers made by SharkNinja are being recalled after customers filed burn injury reports.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and SharkNinja issued a recall on Thursday for the brand's SharkNinja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers after 106 reports of burn injuries were filed, which has sparked over two dozen lawsuits against the company.
The pressure cooker is black with a 6.5-quart capacity. Affected models include those with the model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO which are printed on the side of the cookware.
'An additional code following the model number is not part of that model designation. For example, a unit labeled 'OP301 I07' is a model OP301 unit. Any OP300 series replacement pressure cooker lids purchased as an additional part are also included in this recall,' the CPSC report clarified.
There were about 1,846,400 pressure cookers recalled, plus another 184,240 sold in Canada.
The cookware was sold at Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, and Target stores nationwide and online at www.Ninjakitchen.com from January 2019 through March 2025. Each pressure cooker sold for around $200.
Within the 106 reports of burn injuries, there were more than 50 reports of second or third-degree burns to the face or body, according to the CPSC report.
Customers who have the pressure cooker are urged to stop using the product's pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid.
However, the report says customers can still use the pressure cookers' other functions, including air frying.
The recall comes over one week after Upper Crust Bakery LP issued a voluntary recall on three of its bread products after glass fragments were discovered on the surface of the loaves.
The recall affects 89 cases of Ancient Grains Hoagie Rolls, 699 cases of Multigrain Sourdough, and 30 cases of Whole Grain Multigrain bread. All the products were sold frozen and packaged in corrugated paper cartons.
Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and to return them to their place of purchase for a refund.
The loaves of bread were sold at stores in six states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
On April 25, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a Class II recall, meaning 'a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.'
However, there have not been any reports of injuries due to the recalled breads at the time of writing.

LTRX Solution Used by Tier-1 Operator for Managing Cell Site Generator
Lantronix, Inc. LTRX has announced a multi-year agreement with a Tier-1 U.S. mobile network operator. The collaboration will enable the digital transformation of more than 50,000 backup power systems at wireless cell sites nationwide, utilizing Lantronix's advanced Edge gateways and cloud-based software to facilitate real-time monitoring, enhance network reliability and significantly reduce operational costs. These backup generators play a crucial role in maintaining uninterrupted mobile service during power outages, supporting critical functions ranging from everyday mobile phone usage to life-saving medical equipment and emergency communication systems. Traditionally, maintaining these generators involved costly and inefficient manual inspections. With Lantronix's Edge Intelligence solutions, network operators gain remote visibility and data-driven maintenance capabilities, cutting operational expenses while boosting system reliability. The deployment leverages Lantronix's FOX Series industrial IoT gateways along with its cloud-based Percepxion platform, offering a scalable, vendor-agnostic solution for real-time monitoring of generator health. Key metrics, such as fuel levels, battery status, oil pressure and coolant temperature, are continuously tracked to enable predictive maintenance, eliminate unnecessary site visits and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Lantronix, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Lantronix, Inc. Quote The partnership has enabled the mobile network operator to digitize and centralize the management of its nationwide fleet of cell site generators. Notable outcomes include improved network resilience through increased generator uptime, real-time operational visibility with automated alerts for outages and tampering, and secure lifecycle management of connected assets. Additionally, the streamlined integration of millions of devices from edge to cloud has led to greater operational efficiency and cost savings. Beyond generator monitoring, Lantronix's solution also supports expanded infrastructure oversight, including HVAC systems, power regulators, battery banks and power phase and frequency metrics—further enhancing site readiness and reliability across the operator's infrastructure. Recently, Lantronix announced a collaboration with Aerora, a provider of integrated NDAA-compliant propulsion, ground control and AI-powered precision payload systems. This partnership brings cutting-edge Edge AI solutions that accelerate advancements in drones, robotics and surveillance, powered by Aerora's OEM platform for AI-driven visual navigation. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Lantronix strengthened its position in AI edge intelligence and industrial connectivity through a series of strategic initiatives. A notable highlight was the company's collaboration with Teledyne FLIR, where Lantronix's Open-Q platform powered an AI-enabled thermal camera for drones, demonstrating the platform's reliability and performance in critical edge vision applications. Further expanding its AI compute offerings, Lantronix launched the Open-Q 8550CS System on Module (SoM), built on Qualcomm's advanced QCS8550 processor. However, despite these advancements and recent acquisitions, Lantronix continues to face headwinds in certain business segments. Revenues from the IoT System Solutions segment, which accounted for 51.7% of total revenues, declined 45% year over year in the fiscal third quarter. The Embedded IoT Solutions segment, contributing 42.1% to overall revenues, saw a more modest drop of 3.7%. Meanwhile, the Software & Services segment, which made up 6.2% of total revenues, experienced an 8.3% year-over-year decrease. LTRX currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

Opinion - Don't make me the last chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission
In what may be the first for an independent federal agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission submitted a budget request to Congress last month proposing its own elimination. The Trump administration seeks to absorb elements of the commission into the Department of Health and Human Services in order to eliminate the agency's independence and reduce the transparency of its operations. The budget request also seeks to decrease the number of employees by 75 (to a total of 459) and reduce its budget by $16 million. If this budget request becomes law, I would likely be the last confirmed chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It would mark the end of the commission as an independent agency dedicated to protecting the public from unsafe consumer products, and it would reverse 53 years of progress in product safety. This budget request would never have existed if Trump had not unlawfully removed three sitting commissioners, including myself, last month. U.S. District Court Judge Maddox found the president's actions unlawful on June 13, enabling us to resume our jobs as commissioners. However, the Trump administration has appealed this ruling and continues to seek our removal. President Richard Nixon signed the Consumer Product Safety Act into law in 1972, establishing CPSC as a bipartisan, independent agency led by five commissioners who are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Prior to that, the Department of Commerce and the Food and Drug Administration had responsibility for product safety, but their efforts lacked focus — as a result, Americans suffered. In the lead up to the creation of the CPSC, President Lyndon Johnson recognized that 'the homes that we live in can be more dangerous than a booby-trapped mine field' and that change was needed. The Consumer Product Safety Commission was created to clear this mine field. In establishing the agency, Congress recognized that its independence was important to ensure that it remained unfettered by political dictates and self-interested pressure from industry. Congress mandated that no more than three commissioners can belong to the same political party; that they are to be appointed to staggered terms, to ensure only a portion of their terms expire at any given time; and that they can only be removed for cause. These legal provisions were designed to prevent swift, drastic changes in the agency's composition and, ultimately, its regulations and policies. The commission's current structure promotes stability and continuity, which benefits consumers as well as manufacturers and sellers. In the months leading up to our removal, my colleagues and I opposed staff reductions to meet arbitrary White House demands. We advanced proposed mandatory product safety standards to save lives — including from horrific fires ignited by faulty lithium-ion batteries. We rejected efforts to dismantle and embed CPSC into the Department of Health and Human Services. Within weeks of our unlawful terminations, the remaining commissioners withdrew the proposed lithium-ion battery safety rule and embraced the administration's efforts to abolish the agency's independence and downsize our staff. The consequences of our absence were plain as the administration moved forward to eliminate the agency and weaken its functions. The changes proposed by the Trump administration are wholly unnecessary. For over 50 years, the commission has validated the vision of Nixon and Congress for improving product safety. For example, crib fatalities have decreased by nearly 80 percent; pediatric poisonings have decreased by 80 percent; deaths from residential fires have decreased by more than 64 percent. There have been dramatic injury reductions as well. Bicycle injuries have declined by about 35 percent. Baby walker injuries, which resulted in 25,000 emergency room visits in 1992, had dropped by 88 percent by 2020. Because of the commission's safety rules, children no longer suffocate in refrigerators, get crushed by closing garage doors or get entrapped underwater in swimming pool drain covers. Safety standards ban lead in toys and ensure that products manufactured for infants and toddlers meet basic safety standards. The elimination of this agency and the incorporation of its parts into this administration's troubled HHS would put the agency's successes and future product safety progress at risk. As was recognized more than 50 years ago, product safety gets lost within a large department with competing priorities. It would be too easy to put recalls or new product safety standards on the back burner when HHS is faced with a revamp of the Medicare system and with millions losing access to health care. In addition, as resources become harder to find, product safety staff and money may be shifted to politically favored projects within HHS at the whim of the secretary. Without an independent Consumer Product Safety Commission, there will be far less accountability and transparency. When an agency is independent and commissioners come from multiple perspectives, undue political influence is moderated. The commissioners can work together to build consensus but also act as a check on each other. This ensures that the agency's actions are transparent to the public and the agency is not taking political direction to favor one company over another. That is why, once the full commission was reinstated, it submitted a new budget request that affirms the independence of the agency and seeks full funding of its operations. This, however, does not change the administration's proposal or the HHS budget request to eliminate it and absorb parts of it into HHS. The president's request threatens product safety. But, fortunately, eliminating the Consumer Product Safety Commission as it has existed for more than 50 years would require an act of Congress. There are Republican and Democratic members of Congress who recognize the importance of CPSC's work and its independence. I hope they can convince their colleagues to reject the president's proposal. I don't want to be the last confirmed chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. And none of us want to go back to the days when the homes that we live in were 'more dangerous than a booby-trapped mine field.' Alexander Hoehn-Saric served as chair of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission from October 2021 through January 2025 and is now serving as a commissioner. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
