How Gourmia Pressure Cooker Burns Can Result in Compensation
No one expects the products they purchase to lead to detrimental injuries. But in certain cases where items do not work as intended, the result can include mental or physical pain, expensive medical bills, the inability to work, and more.
A recent example of a defective product leading to these types of issues is the Gourmia pressure cooker. On February 24, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled approximately 43,500 products, as they pose the risk of creating serious burn injuries. This is because the lid on the pressure cooker is able to open while the component is still pressurized, which can cause the hot contents to spray out.
Additionally, faults with the product design and functionality include the following:
- The pressure cooker’s float valve, which is designed to rise when there is pressure in the component and drop when there is no pressure, is located in the inside handle and is difficult to see
- The pressure cooker includes incorrect volume markings on the inner pot, which can cause consumers to overfill the pot and the contents to be ejected while the contents are pressurized
Additional Details of the Gourmia Pressure Cooker Burn Injury Recall
Products involved in the Gourmia recall lawsuit include components that were sold between 2017 and 2020 at Best Buy and other retailers and ecommerce platforms, ranging in price from $50 to $80. Though the products are manufactured in China, the importer is The Steelstone Group, an LLC doing business as Gourmia of Brooklyn, New York.
The model number is GPC625, and the product safety warning number is 26-280. The CPSC urges customers to stop using their Gourmia pressure cookers and to dispose of them immediately. More information regarding the details of the recall can be found on the CPSC’s website.
How to Know When You Have a Product Liability Case
Product liability cases, such as the Gourmia pressure cooker recall lawsuit, are governed by the Indiana Defective Product Act (Indiana Code § 34-20-4.), which states that a product is defective when:
- It has defects that a reasonable person using the product would not foresee
- It presents an unreasonable danger to people when used as expected
