First aid Made Feb 12, 2026, sent to the company Feb 17, 2026, published by CPSC Mar 10, 2026
The product, in the report: GOURMIA Electric countertop pressure cooker marketed as the Gourmia Express Pot. Stainless steel exterior with black lid and digital front display panel. Multi-function electric pressure cooker with programmable settings (e.g., rice, meat/stew, beans/chili, poultry, yogurt, slow cook, saut). Digital screen displays pressure status and cooking cycle information. Unit includes locking lid mechanism and pressure release/float valve safety system. Designed for household food preparation using pressurized steam.
On February 2, 2026, at approximately 7:35 PM, I was using the Gourmia Express Pot to prepare bone marrow broth. The appliance was being used according to standard operating instructions.
When the cooking cycle completed, the digital display indicated that pressure had been fully released. The unit screen showed Off.
2. Incident Description
After visually confirming that the display showed no remaining pressure, I rotated the lid.
The lid unlocked without resistance.
Immediately upon disengagement, the unit forcefully released a significant amount of steam and hot liquid outward approximately two feet.
The sudden release of steam and liquid resulted in a steam burn injury.
3. Injury Sustained
As a result of the incident, I sustained significant steam burns consistent with partial-thickness (second-degree) injury.
Medical-grade burn care was initiated immediately, including: Silver sulfadiazine 1% cream (prescription burn cream) Xeroform petrolatum non-adhering dressings Sterile wound care management
Photographic documentation of the injury and healing progression is available.
4. Safety Concern
The lid was able to unlock despite apparent residual internal pressure.
Electric pressure cookers are designed with locking and float-valve mechanisms to prevent opening while pressurized.
The ability of the lid to disengage and release pressurized steam presents a serious safety concern.

The product, in the report: Pressure cooker
The pressure cooker was in the “on” position for approximately 30 minutes. It was set by the timer.
The metal lid shot straight up in the air and the lining around the lid also flew off. The lit hid the kitchen ceiling and caused an indentation to the plaster. The contents landed on the consumer’s arm, back, hair and spread across the kitchen as well (ceiling, counter top, floor). Some of the food landed on the entrance towards the living room.
The consumer sustained burns to her back and arms. She applied an ointment to her burns as soon as this happened.
She estimates that the pot is used every 2 weeks on average.
