The Insignia brand pressure cookers were sold at Best Buy stores in US and Canada
The number of units affected by the recall totaled about 930,000 in the U.S. For the six- and eight-quart pressure cookers, the CPSC listed the model numbers NS-MC60SS8, NS-MC60SS9 and NS-MC80SS9.
It applies to separately-sold inner cooker pots with the same capacities as well, according to the CPSC. In those, NS-MCRP6NS9 and NS-MCRP6SS9 are their model numbers.
Sales of the pressure cookers occurred in physical Best Buy locations around the U.S. and on its website, per the CPSC. The time frame for those transactions ran from October 2017 to June 2023.
The potential danger stems from the inner pots of the recalled Insignia multi-function pressure cookers having "incorrect volume markings" inside of them, a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) alert said. Due to the erroneous markings, consumers could "overfill the pot," something the recall notice said could lead "liquids to be ejected when the pressure cooker is vented using the quick release method or opened while its contents are pressurized."
