The couple filed the lawsuit after they both suffered burns from an explosion of boiling gumbo in a SilverOnyx pressure cooker.
A Pennsylvania couple has filed a lawsuit against SilverOnyx LLC alleging that their SilverOnyx pressure cooker has a dangerous defect because the lid can still be opened under pressure.
The lawsuit was filed by Dana and Thomas M., a couple who used a pressure cooker to make shrimp soup in October 2020.
According to the lawsuit, Dana filled the pressure cooker with half of the ingredients and cooked it for 25 minutes. After the cooking cycle is complete, her husband manually releases the pressure valve.
After she seemed to release the pressure, he began to unscrew the lid – just at that moment it burst with hot gumbo.
“The pressure cooker immediately exploded and spilled its contents,” the lawsuit says. Dana suffered burns to her abdomen and left arm, while Thomas suffered burns to his right arm and abdomen.
Both of them are now seeking damages from SilverOnyx LLC for selling the faulty pressure cooker. They claim it was falsely advertised as containing a “safety feature” that locks the lid and won’t let it open until all pressure has been removed.
The suit says that the lid is actually removable and that there is still dangerous pressure in the pressure cooker.
“When the lid was removed in this state, the pressure inside the device resulted in the ejection of hot contents from the device,” the complaint states.
SilverOnyx Pressure Cooker Litigation Filed September 27, 2022 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania – Case #2:22-cv-03834.
