Australian Woman Is Covered In Burns After Faulty Pressure Cooker Explodes

A Queensland, Australia woman was left hospitalized after her pressure cooker exploded boiling water all over her arms and neck.

Mother-of-two Carizza Bordeos said she was cooking beef in her Breville Fast and Slow Cooker BPR200 when it exploded fat and boiling water across her body. She said she has had the device for almost four years and it hasn’t given her issues before, but on this day, it left her scared.

The 28-year-old mother and full-time student said she had no idea it could be faulty or dangerous, though now she’s doing research to discover the cause. Upon investigating, she discovered a recall had been issued, though she never received a notice, despite registering the product with her address after purchase.

Carizza said she was vacuuming a few feet away at the time of the incident. She wasn’t even standing over the cooker and still has serious burns.

Doctors assessed her as having burns on 10 percent of her body, and she spent four nights in the hospital recovering.

“I would prefer labor birth pains, than burn pains. I would take labor any day over burns,” she says.

Sharon Lenzner, Breville business manager – cooking and food prep says the company is in contact with Carizza but due to the privacy act, can not comment specifically.
