[Small-Appliance-Cooking] Instant Pot Types

I am sorry, but that is not the same. You really should not use a hair dryer while in the bathtub or the shower. However, saying that people with disabilities should not use the Insta pot is not the same. It is discrimination because it is assuming that all people with disabilities or safety risks without any medical proof which is against the law. Think about the mock trial at the 75th convention. It was set right after the NFB was founded. The premise of the mock trial was that a blind man was walking and he fell into a hole on a construction site where there was no barriers. If he were cited, he could have sued and won on the grounds that there were no barriers or warnings, but because he was blind, he could not sue because the cord was trying to say that as a blind person, he should have been walking with a personal care attendant. They said that he did not act reasonably for a blind person and therefore could not sue. Now let's say that your Insta pot goes on the fritz and explodes or cooks something wrong and makes you sick or something and you want to Sue. As a blind person, you may have trouble. The court will say that you were not acting reasonably because the manual said that you as a blind person should not be using the appliance. You would first have to prove in court that the manual was discriminatory before you could  sue. Perhaps I am not explaining myself well enough though. What is the manual said that a woman should not use the Insta pot or a black person should not use the Insta pot, you would not say, oh, it's fine. You are too easily offended. They are just covering their bases. It is ironic that when the manual discriminates against blind people, other blind people actually defend it. Definitely use and enjoy your Insta pot, but know that every time you use it, you have to disobey the directions in the manual. Also know that the company will never have to worry about accessibility as long as it says in their manual that you are banned from using it.

I don't understand what you mean by saying they are trying to cover themselves. They can actually be sued for that statement in there manual. Their products are blatantly trying to discriminate against blind people and other people with disabilities. The ADA actually does address this. I cannot remember the title, but I read the entire thing, and it said somewhere that you cannot exclude a person with a disability on the grounds that they are safety threat unless it is medically provable. It made it very clear that it has to be medically provable and that it cannot be based on perception. So the company could be sued for this. They should at least be chastised for it. If they take that out of there manual and support accessibility, I would want to support them.
