I've owned and used two of the affected models (for ~6 years in total), and also read the version of events presented by the plaintiffs (in their claims), as well as the judges' view of what happened.

I originally read the documents to understand whether the unit I own is safe, and believed in its safety strongly enough that I have continued to use it.

So you've never actually tried to bypass the safety mechanism to determine the difficulty of doing so?

Because I'd bet you that the jury certainly did.

I’d make that bet, because you obviously don’t know much about pressure cookers or the law. Juries hear expert testimony; they do not perform independent investigations. I have inadvertently tested the safety mechanisms, and they are quite secure. I will not do what plaintiffs say they did, because it is so incredibly stupid.
