"Sunbeam has recalled more than 940,000 Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cookers. If not fully locked, the lid can detach during cooking, causing burn hazards. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Sunbeam has received 119 reports of lids detaching, resulting in 99 burn injuries ranging in severity from first-degree to third-degree burns

The recall covers the Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cookers that were manufactured between July 2017 and October 2018, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement on Tuesday."

Edited to add:  

"The multi-cookers were sold at Walmart, Target, and other retail stores nationwide and online at Amazon and other retailers from July 2017 through November 2020 for between $70 and $100.

The remedy: Consumers should stop using the Crock-Pot in pressure cooker mode but can continue to use it for slow cooking and sautéing. Consumers who continue using the multi-cooker in pressure cooker mode while waiting for the replacement lid should be certain the lid is securely turned to the fully locked position by aligning the arrow on the lid with the lock symbol on the base."
