Pressure cookers sold at popular stores like Target, Macy’s, JCPenny, Lowe’s and online on Amazon are being recalled due to a potential burn hazard.

A recall alert was issued Thursday, Aug. 10 for Bella, Bella Pro Series, Crux, and Cooks electric pressure cookers, as well as Bella stovetop pressure cookers. Officials say the lids on the pressure cookers can unlock and move while in use, which can cause the hot contents to “unexpectedly splash out” and potentially burn the user.
