ALDI and Tempo Recall 46,660 Ambiano Pressure Cookers for Burn Risk

The action follows 11 incident reports involving lids opening early, including eight severe burns.

Overview

  • U.S. product safety regulators announced the recall on Thursday and urged owners to stop using the affected cookers immediately.
  • The recalled units are models 93550 (KY-318B), 96775 (KY-318A), and 98527 (6L-PC) in six- and eight-quart sizes, sold nationwide from January 2016 through December 2019 for about $40.
  • According to the CPSC, the defect allows the lid to open before pressure is released, which can eject hot contents and cause burn injuries.
  • Consumers can get a full refund by returning the intact cooker to any ALDI or by emailing photos of an unplugged unit with the cut power cord, model number, and date code to [email protected].
  • For questions, consumers can contact ALDI at 800-325-7894 during weekday hours or visit the retailer’s Product Recalls page.
