"'Ninja' is printed on the front of each unit and on the product label.
"Model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO are included in this recall and are printed on a label on the side of the cooker.
"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."

Thankfully, if you've purchased the item, you can 'continue to use' part of it, however, there's one element you should 'immediately stop using'.

What should you do with your Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cooker now?
Anyone with the item is advised to 'immediately stop using the product’s pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid'.

Why? Well, it's been found the pressure-cooking lid 'can be opened during use' which causes 'hot contents to escape, posing a risk of burn injuries to consumers'.
"Consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying and other functions," the advice continues.
And SharkNinja has since addressed the mass recall too.

What has SharkNinja said?
A spokesperson for the company told UNILAD: "The safety of our customers is a top priority for SharkNinja. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, Ninja is conducting a recall to replace the lid on certain Ninja-brand ‘Foodi’ multi-function cookers in the OP300 model family.
"This addresses reports that some consumers have been able to open the pressure-cooking lids of certain units of these cookers during use, resulting in burn injuries from hot contents. More information is available at ninjakitchen.com or at CPSC.gov."
UNILAD has contacted SharkNinja for further comment.
