Breville Pressure Cookers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The sealing gasket can be incorrectly inserted upside down on the lid which can allow the unexpected release of built-up pressure. This poses a risk of burns to the user or consumers nearby.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
