Pressure cookers scare me.

Ever since this one time [at band camp, heh] when my mom was using one, and I don't know what she did, but it exploded and food went everywhere. And now you have this:

HSN settles over pressure cookers

'WASHINGTON — The Home Shopping Network has agreed to pay the government an $875,000 civil settlement after the government accused the company of failing to promptly warn consumers about dangerous pressure cookers blamed for burning consumers at least 37 times.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday that the payment was part of a settlement reached with HSN LP and its partner companies over defects in Welbilt electronic pressure cookers sold between September 2001 and November 2002. HSN LP is the network's corporate name.

The agreement headed off a lawsuit the commission and the Justice Department were prepared to file against HSN, accusing it of failing to tell the commission — as required by law — about 25 reports the company allegedly received of defects in the pressure cooker.'
