Tempo USA is recalling approximately 46,660 Ambiano electric pressure cookers sold exclusively at ALDI stores. The pressure cooker lids can be opened while the unit is still under pressure, causing hot food and steam to explode out of the pot. There have been 11 reports of these incidents, including eight cases of severe burn injuries. These units were sold between January 2016 and December 2019 for about $40.
The lid can be opened before pressure has fully released, causing scalding hot contents to be expelled onto consumers. This has resulted in eight reports of severe burn injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure cookers and contact Tempo or ALDI for a refund. Consumers can either return the fully intact pressure cooker to any ALDI retail location for a full refund or submit a photo of the pressure cooker with the unplugged power cord cut and a photo showing the model number and date code via email to Tempo at serviceusa@tempo.org.
The brand name Ambiano appears on the front of each unit and on its permanent on-product label.
