Tucson, AZ, October 20, 2026 —
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a safety warning covering approximately 393,000 6-quart Power Quick Pot pressure cookers, model Y6D-36, over a burn hazard.
The defect described in the warning can allow a cooker’s lid to open while the appliance is pressurized. Hot contents may then be expelled, creating a risk of burn injuries. The CPSC warning identifies the affected product by its six-quart capacity and model number.
The pressure cookers were sold nationwide between July 2018 and November 2023. The information provided does not identify the manufacturer or seller, or specify where the products were sold.
The CPSC issued a safety warning, but the information provided does not say whether the agency or a company has announced a recall. It also does not state how many injuries, if any, have been reported, or describe a repair, refund, replacement, or other remedy. No additional details about how consumers can identify affected units were included.
The warning centers on the risk created when the lid opens before pressure has been released. The stated potential consequence is the expulsion of hot contents and resulting burns. The available details do not describe any other hazards or provide information about the circumstances in which the lid may open.
Consumers and retailers are not given further instructions in the information available for this article. The CPSC’s warning, as summarized, identifies the product, the model number, the approximate number of units, the hazard and the sales period, but does not provide details about next steps.
