The product, in the report: 8 qt electric pressure cooker
The consumer says the cooker does not show what the closed position is. He has two other brand pressure cookers which clearly indicate both locked and unlocked positions. This cooker only shows arrows to indicate closed and open but does not state clearly which is which.
He noticed steam leaking so he closed the lid. It immediately stopped leaking. Ten minutes later, the cooker exploded. The food contents splattered all over the garage where he was cooking. The lid had fell ten feet away.
The consumer says he feels lucky to not have been around at the time of the explosion. The consumer contacted the manufacturer who did not show an interest in looking into this matter.
