MUM LEFT WITH AGONISING SECOND DEGREE BURNS AND SCARRED FOR LIFE AFTER PRESSURE COOKER ‘EXPLODED BOILING STEW OVER CHEST AND ARMS’ WITH PIX NOTE TO DESKS: Comment from High Street TV, which manufactures Pressure King Pro, requested, to follow. By Hollie Bone A mum claims she was left writhing in agony when her pressure cooker allegedly exploded boiling hot vegetable stew all over her right arm, chest and neck. Louise Clift, 31, from Hayling, Portsmouth, was left with painful first and second degree burns after she claims her Pressure King Pro blew its lid and fired the contents all over her last Wednesday [NOV 27]. The beauty therapist claims she had used the £69.99 cooker at least once a week with no problems since receiving it as a Christmas gift last year. But the single mum to daughters, Lexie, 11 and Rachael, four, has shared shocking images of her injuries to warn others of the danger, claiming it could have been one of her children left scalded. Now doctors have told her she will be scarred for life and will have to stay out of the sun for two years as the skin will remain extremely sensitive to sunlight forever. Louise said: "As soon as I went to turn the lid the whole thing just exploded the contents all over me. "At first it didn't feel like it hurt, my body went into shock and my mum put me straight into a cold shower, my whole body was shaking. "But as soon as we got in the car on the way to the hospital my skin was literally burning, it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. "I was in absolute agony." Louise received the five litre cooker as a Christmas present in 2018 after a friend purchased it from a TV shopping channel. Since then, Louise has used the cooker at least once or twice a week, with no problems or signs of faults - and didn't notice anything unusual before it blew its lid as she prepared the meal with mum, Maggie, 65. After spending 40 minutes under a cold shower at home, Louise called her friend, former first responder, Michelle Wood, who rushed her to the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, where she was put under a cold shower for another hour before medics dressed her arm in cooling bandages. Despite escaping hospital after just four hours, the single mum has now been signed off work for a week after doctors warned that the wound was infected and that she wouldn't be able to treat her beauty clients until the burn heals. But Louise said she was more concerned it could have been one of her children who were left scarred by the incident and has vowed to never use pressure cookers again. Now the mum is calling for a complete ban on the product and claims she has been told by manufacturers, High Street TV that they are 'sorry for the inconvenience'. She said: "My eldest loves cooking and for the previous two nights she had actually helped me make the dinner, it could have easily been her. "Even my four year old is taller than the counter top and is always in the kitchen looking for food, I can't even imagine what it would have been like if one of the girls had been burned. "I'd never heard about anything like this but when I started to look into it there were loads of incidents like this happening, it's really terrifying. "I love the sunshine but the doctors have told me that I won't be able to expose the burn for 24 months and they can't tell me how long it will be before I can massage clients again, which is a major part of my business. "I'll never use a pressure cooker ever again, it was absolutely awful." ENDS
