Hazard

It is possible to open the pressure cooker while it is still under pressure. As a result, the user could suffer burns or injuries. Steam or liquid may also leak from the pressure cooker, extinguishing the flame of the stove. As a consequence, natural gas could then be released leading to a fire or explosion. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive and the relevant European standard EN 12778.
