Double Insight is recalling about 1,000 Instant Pot "Smart" and "Smart-60" electric pressure cookers because a faulty thermal probe in the base can conduct electricity to the outside of the cooker. This defect poses a serious risk of electric shock to anyone touching the device. The firm has already received three reports of consumers being shocked while using these stainless steel, Bluetooth-enabled cookers. Affected units were sold online at Instantpot.com and Amazon.com between November 2014 and May 2015.
A component called a thermal probe can malfunction and allow electricity to flow through the metal body of the cooker. This creates a risk of electric shock for the user, with three incidents of shock already reported.
Consumers should stop using the recalled product immediately and contact Instant Pot for instructions to receive a free replacement base, which consists of the entire bottom of the pressure cooker including the control panel. The firm is contacting all purchasers directly.
