pressure cooker

That Model Gem 65 does not have a pressure cook function. It is a multi cooker in rectangular shape.

These are batch codes 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734 and 1746. If your appliance belongs to one of these groups, you should stop using it immediately, the company said.

Be on the alert, for the multi function 8 in one multi cooker then.

GMA called it "oval " shaped. I don't have one, but, think if I was in the market I'd research my options.

inner pot is probably oval like most slow cookers

Only certain factory runs of the Gem 65 suffer from the failing, Instant Pot said. These are batch codes 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734 and 1746. If your appliance belongs to one of these groups, you should stop using it immediately, the company said. There has been no report of fire caused by the problem, and Instant Pot hasn't issued an official recall.

Thank you all for clarifying which type and model.  The picture really helps to identify if our IP is involved.

Thanks for posting!

Hope nobody in here is affected.

Nope, not here.  I have a Ninja and a Cook's COmpanion like the GEM so no point in buying the GEM.  They branched out and got an imperfect product I guess, which is so not like them.  Wonder if it was produced somewhere else?
