The average pressure cooker settlement payout or verdict depends on the damages the plaintiff suffered.
While pressure cooker settlement amounts vary from case to case, they can average from $25,000 to over $2,000,000.
Pressure cooker settlements typically involve financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Cases involving physical injuries, emotional distress, and material losses from an exploding pressure cooker could result in higher settlement amounts than those involving only physical pain and suffering.
For example, thermal burns are the most common injuries when pressure cookers explode, and the settlement value depends on the location and severity of the damage.
First-degree burns can range from $25,000 to $75,000 in auto accident cases, while third-degree burns can be anywhere between $100,000 and $1,000,000 in product liability cases.
For pressure cooker lawsuits, the average settlement amount can be between $125,000 and $200,000 for second-degree burns and $600,000 and $2,000,000 for third-degree burns.
Cases with more severe damages, such as permanent disfigurement, can result in higher settlement amounts.
The amounts provided above are merely estimations based on prior results in other Pressure Cooker Lawsuits and similar injuries caused by other products and accidents.
These estimations are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation for your Pressure Cooker Lawsuit.

In recent years, pressure cooker lawsuits have resulted in numerous settlements and verdicts.
A few of the most notable pressure cooker lawsuit settlements and verdicts include the following.
In November 2018, toddler Samantha Gonzalez and her family received a $27 million verdict in their defective pressure cooker lawsuit against Lifetime Brands.
In 2015, grandmother Caridad Fernandez Reinaldo gave then-two-year-old Samantha a bath in the sink while making chicken soup in a Vasconia pressure cooker.
The family’s faulty pressure cooker overflowed and sprayed hot soup onto Samantha, causing her to suffer second and third-degree burns over 60% of her body.
While authorities declared that the Vasconia pressure cooker wasn’t defective, Samantha’s pressure cooker lawyers discovered that the appliance’s pressure valve activated by mistake and that there was an issue with the locking system of old models.
Kohl’s Department Stores Inc. paid victim Bridget Iovino a confidential settlement in November 2018 after her Elite Bistro pressure cooker exploded, leaving her to endure second and third-degree burns.
50-year-old Bridget was using her Elite Bistro pressure cooker to make chicken broth the same way she had done a few times before.
She noticed an unusual amount of steam coming from the cooker, but before she could do anything, the pressure cooker exploded, burning her body with scalding liquid.
Bridget and her husband, Gene Iovino, sued Kohl’s and manufacturer Maxi-Matic USA Inc. for negligence, breach of express warranty, failure to warn, strict liability, and loss of consortium in September 2015, resulting in a confidential settlement.
In 2022, an unnamed Georgia mother and her young child settled with Instant Brands, Inc. for an undisclosed amount after their defective Instant Pot pressure cooker exploded.
The faulty lid lock on their Instant Pot IP-DUO 60 V2 caused the pressure cooker’s lid to fly off, leaving the child severely burned.
During the pressure cooker litigation, both parties went back and forth before they could settle.
The plaintiff demanded Instant Brands, Inc. provide evidence of similar incidents where their pressure cooker’s lid malfunctioned, but the manufacturer argued to provide evidence only for the specific model unit for two years before the incident.
After several delays, Instant Brands, Inc. agreed to settle the case and pay the injured child monthly compensation once she turns 18 and a final lump sum payment when she turns 22.
They will also shoulder legal fees for the family. This case is one of many Instant Pot lawsuits filed against the company.
In 2020, a Pennsylvania woman reached a $6 million settlement with a pressure cooker manufacturer after sustaining severe burn injuries.
The plaintiff alleged that the pressure cooker’s lid opened unexpectedly, releasing scalding hot contents that caused second and third-degree burns.
This case highlighted concerns over faulty safety mechanisms in the cooker’s lid, which failed to prevent the lid from opening under pressure.
In 2019, a Florida man received a multi-million dollar settlement following a pressure cooker malfunction that caused permanent facial burns.
The plaintiff reported that the cooker exploded due to a faulty pressure release valve, sending boiling hot liquid onto his face and upper body.
The incident raised awareness about defects in safety features, leading the manufacturer to review its product design.
In 2021, a class action lawsuit against a popular pressure cooker brand led to a settlement after multiple plaintiffs alleged similar issues with defective safety locks and pressure release systems.
The class action represented consumers who reported incidents of pressure cookers exploding or releasing scalding hot steam unexpectedly, causing severe burns.
The manufacturer agreed to the settlement to cover damages and issue corrective measures for the affected product models.
A New Jersey woman received a $2 million settlement in 2018 after a pressure cooker exploded, leaving her with third-degree burns across her arms and chest.
The woman claimed that the cooker’s safety lock failed, which allowed the lid to detach under pressure.
This settlement prompted the company to investigate its products’ safety mechanisms to prevent future incidents.
In 2017, a confidential settlement was reached after a Texas family sued a pressure cooker company over a malfunction that caused severe burn injuries to a young child.
The family alleged that the pressure cooker’s lid was defective, allowing it to open while still under pressure.
The company later reviewed its safety protocols and added warning labels to address potential risks.
Pressure cooker manufacturers must design, produce, and market safe products.
Most pressure cookers have safety mechanisms to reduce the risks of explosions, such as lid-locking systems, thermal sensors, and pressure valves.
However, some manufacturers fail to meet minimum safety standards or neglect to use appropriate materials for specific components, leading them to sell pressure cookers that are a safety hazard.
Common causes of pressure cooker explosions include:
When manufacturers fail to use safe, quality materials, neglect to include sufficient safety precautions in their products, or if their products have faulty safety features, they can be held liable for damages or injuries.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued multiple recalls for defective pressure cooker brands over the years.
They found these products to be unsafe due to several issues:
The CPSC has not yet recalled several pressure cooker brands that are facing various lawsuits.
Pressure cookers named in lawsuits that have not been recalled include, but are not limited to:
Press cooker explosions can lead to numerous severe injuries.
When hot food, water, or steam over the boiling point blasts out or built-up pressure causes the pressure cooker to explode, anyone nearby can suffer a range of injuries.
Common pressure cooker-related injuries include:
These injuries can be costly for victims, both financially and emotionally.
However, with the help of a qualified personal injury attorney, pressure cooker explosion survivors may be able to get compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Excess of steam pressure inside a pressure cooker is normally dissipated with a release valve that both maintains enough pressure inside but discards the excess.
When a valve becomes clogged with debris, such as food or dust, the way for excess steam pressure to be released is blocked.
Inadequate venting can cause either the pressure cooker to explode from extreme internal pressure or explode from sudden pressure release upon opening the lid.
Main causes of Pressure Cooker Explosions include:

TorHoerman Law is an awesome firm to represent anyone that has been involved in a case that someone has stated that it's too difficult to win. The entire firm makes you feel like you’re part of the family, Tor, Eric, Jake, Kristie, Chad, Tyler, Kathy and Steven are the best at what they do.
TorHorman Law is awesome
I can’t say enough how grateful I was to have TorHoerman Law help with my case. Jacob Plattenberger is very knowledgeable and an amazing lawyer. Jillian Pileczka was so patient and kind, helping me with questions that would come up. Even making sure my special needs were taken care of for meetings.
TorHoerman Law fights for justice with their hardworking and dedicated staff. Not only do they help their clients achieve positive outcomes, but they are also generous and important pillars of the community with their outreach and local support. Thank you THL!
Hands down one of the greatest group of people I had the pleasure of dealing with!
A very kind and professional staff.
Very positive experience. Would recommend them to anyone.
A very respectful firm.
