Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

  2. Locate the identification label on the bottom of the pressure cooker base to check your serial number and manufacture date.
  3. Verify if your unit is affected: the recall includes serial numbers between 1410 and 1503 and manufacture dates between 12/1/2014 and 6/1/2015.
