1. Recall Summary
Tempo International (USA) Inc., of Aventura, Florida, in cooperation with ALDI, is recalling all Ambiano electric pressure cookers. The recall was initiated due to a safety defect involving the pressure cooker lid. The firm has received 11 reports of incidents in which the contents were expelled under pressure, including eight reports of severe burn injuries. The products were sold at ALDI retail stores nationwide between January 2016 and December 2019 for about $40. The units were manufactured in China.

2. Affected Products
This recall involves all Ambiano electric pressure cookers with the following model numbers: 93550 (KY-318B), 96775 (KY-318A), and 98527 (6L-PC). The electric pressure cookers and inner cooker pots are either six-quart or eight-quart capacity. The brand name “Ambiano” appears on the front of each unit and on its permanent on-product label. The model number of the recalled pressure cookers is also printed on the permanent product label located on the bottom of the cooker. Approximately 46,660 units are affected in the United States.

3. Hazard Information
The hazard associated with this product is that the pressure-cooker lid can be opened before sufficient steam pressure has been released. This action can cause hot contents to escape under pressure, posing a risk of burn injuries to consumers. The firm has received 11 reports of incidents related to this defect, which include eight reports of severe burn injuries. No other hazard types are specified in the recall notice.

4. Consumer Action Required
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure cookers. Consumers have two options for action:

– Option B: Submit a photo of the pressure cooker with the unplugged power cord cut, along with a photo showing the model number and date code, via email to Tempo at serviceusa@tempo.org.

5. Official Remedy
The official remedy for this recall is a refund. Consumers who return the fully intact pressure cooker to an ALDI store will receive a full refund at the point of return.
