May 23, 2024 — A lawsuit has been filed against ALDI by a man who claims that he was burned by a defective pressure cooker.
The plaintiff, Gregory W. Jr., is a man from Grambling, Louisiana (Lincoln Parish), who claims that he was seriously burned on or about February 21, 2023 while using an Ambiano 9-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker.
According to the lawsuit, he suffered “serious and substantial burn injuries” as a result of opening the pressure cooker’s lid while it was still pressurized.
He blames his injuries on the failure of the safety mechanisms, which failed to lock the lid until it was safe to open.
Opening the lid while the pressure cooker was still pressurized resulted in the scalding-hot contents being “forcefully ejected from the pressure cooker and onto the Plaintiff and his partner.”
He claims that he “used an unreasonably dangerous pressure cooker, which resulted in significant and painful bodily injuries.”
The plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages resulting from the incident described above, including serious bodily injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, mental anguish, diminished enjoyment of life, and more.
The lawsuit was filed on February 14, 2024 against ALDI Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana — Case Number 3:23-cv-00213.
