SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260618-E6843-2147316306. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Ninja OL601 Ninja Foodi Smart XL (The product is a Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid, Model Number OL601.

Incident: On April 14, 2026, at approximately 1:45 AM, a severe product safety failure occurred involving a Ninja Foodi unit (Model OL601). The appliance was plugged into a standard 120V residential kitchen outlet but was completely powered off and not actively running or in use at the time of the incident.

The fire was aggressively spreading from the unit to the surrounding kitchen structure. The consumer immediately utilized a personal chemical fire extinguisher to suppress the flames, successfully mitigating a catastrophic house fire and preventing total structural loss. Two household residents witnessed the immediate aftermath, documenting extensive soot, smoke distribution, and physical property damage to the kitchen cabinets, countertops, and adjacent appliances. No physical injuries or deaths occurred, but severe respiratory irritation from toxic smoke inhalation an
