Farberware Pressure Cooker Burn Injury Lawsuits

Farberware is a well-known name in kitchenware, with products sold in homes across the United States for decades. The brand offers cookware, appliances, and electric pressure cookers that are marketed as safe, reliable, and efficient. Unfortunately, like many other pressure cooker brands, Farberware’s pressure cookers could been linked to dangerous malfunctions that caused severe injuries.

Despite promises of “multiple safety features,” consumers could report defective lid locks, failing gaskets, and malfunctioning steam-release valves. These failures can cause sudden explosions of scalding liquid and steam, leaving unsuspecting users with devastating burns, permanent scarring, and long-term medical needs.

At the Law Offices of Jason Turchin, we represent victims nationwide—including Florida, New York, and New Jersey—who were injured by defective pressure cookers. If you or a loved one suffered burns, disfigurement, or other harm, you may be entitled to compensation. Call us today at 800-337-7755 for a free consultation.

Why Pressure Cookers May Be Dangerous

Pressure cookers operate by trapping steam under intense pressure to cook food more quickly than conventional methods. This process can be effective when everything works correctly, but it can also be extremely hazardous if any part of the cooker fails.

Problems reported with pressure cookers could include:

• Defective lid-locking systems – Allowing lids to open while pressure remains inside.
• Gasket or sealing ring failures – Suddenly releasing hot steam and boiling liquid.
• Pressure release valve malfunctions – Preventing safe depressurization of the cooker.
• Electrical malfunctions – In digital and multi-cooker models, overheating or sparks may occur.
• Inadequate safety warnings – Instructions or marketing that mislead consumers about potential risks.

Even when marketed as having “advanced safety systems,” Farberware pressure cookers could been implicated in serious injury claims.

Injuries Which Could be Caused by Farberware Pressure Cooker Accidents

If a Farberware pressure cooker fails, the injuries are often catastrophic. Victims of these accidents have reported:

• Second- and third-degree burns – Particularly on the arms, chest, hands, and face.
• Permanent scarring and disfigurement – Burns often leave visible, lifelong reminders of the accident.
• Nerve damage – Deep thermal burns can destroy skin and nerve endings, causing lasting pain or numbness.
• Eye injuries – From blasts of steam or food propelled during explosions.
• Psychological trauma – Victims frequently experience PTSD, anxiety, and fear of cooking.
• Fatal injuries – In rare but devastating cases, defective pressure cookers have caused wrongful death.

Many victims require hospitalization, specialized burn unit treatment, reconstructive surgery, and months of rehabilitation. The physical, financial, and emotional toll of these accidents can last a lifetime.

Legal Claims Against Farberware

If a Farberware pressure cooker caused injury, victims may be able to pursue compensation through a product liability lawsuit.

Common legal claims could include:

• Design defects – If the appliance was inherently unsafe due to its engineering.
• Manufacturing defects – If errors during production compromised safety.
• Failure to warn – If safety instructions were missing, incomplete, or misleading.

Important Note:

In most product liability cases, victims do not need to prove negligence. They must generally only show that the product was defective and that the defect caused the injury.

Compensation in a Farberware Pressure Cooker Lawsuit

Victims injured by defective Farberware pressure cookers may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses – ER visits, hospitalization, burn treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation.
• Lost income – Wages lost while recovering, as well as reduced earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering – For both physical pain and emotional trauma.
• Permanent disability or scarring – Damages for long-term impairments or disfigurement.
• Property damage – Explosions often destroy kitchens, flooring, and appliances.
• Wrongful death damages – Funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and financial support for surviving families.

The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injuries, medical costs, and long-term impact on the victim’s life.

Statute of Limitations for Farberware Pressure Cooker Lawsuits

Lawsuits must be filed within strict legal timeframes, known as statutes of limitations.

• In Florida, victims generally have two years from the date of injury to file a product liability claim.
• In New York, the statute of limitations for product liability cases is typically three years.
• In New Jersey, most product liability cases must be filed within two years.

Failing to file within the deadline may prevent victims from recovering compensation. Acting quickly also helps preserve key evidence such as the defective cooker, receipts, and medical records.

What To Do After a Farberware Pressure Cooker Accident

If you or a loved one were injured by a Farberware pressure cooker, the steps you take after the accident can make a difference in your recovery and legal claim:

1. Seek medical treatment immediately – Burns and scalds require urgent care.
2. Preserve the pressure cooker – Do not return or discard it. Keep the cooker, lid, and all parts.
3. Take photographs – Document your injuries, the damaged appliance, and the accident scene.
4. Save purchase records – Keep receipts, packaging, instruction manuals, and warranty cards.
5. Consult a product liability lawyer – Speak with an attorney before contacting Farberware or accepting refunds or settlements.

Manufacturers may try to minimize liability with refunds or replacements. These offers rarely cover the true costs of medical bills, lost income, and long-term suffering.
