What a coincidence! I just saw a documentary how the exact cooker was being made from scrap metals. I saw engine blocks, old bike rims, etc being smelted. The process was done in an open air factory. I just marveled how nice the finished product looked but I would never buy one after seeing the process.
It's not that the metal used in engines and other vehicle parts is not good, on the contrary, it's generally way better than the metal used for pots. The problem is that in order to make it better it's almost never just one element, they're alloys of various different metals.
I would never trust Amazon with something relating to food and body. Every other item is a lost-in-translation mystery from who-the-heck-knows where they *definitely* have little sense of accountability.
This is because in that region is no real legislation that prevents lead contamination. The lead is added to the aluminium to make it better workable. While those kinds of alloys are more or less outlawed for many years in all western countries, the scrap still can contain lead. It is also possible that scrap from military products find its way in the production chain. The local workers have no skills or means to detect the presence of lead. Unfortunately this is not the only case like this and it happens over and over again with recycled materials that are not safe for human consumption.
No it's because Amazon acts as a middle man to aid in selling unvetted products abroad. There's a new dangerous product on Amazon every month it seems. They don't care. Amazon could enact a stricter vetting process. But it's more profitable for them to not vet products, profit off the sales, and then play the "we didn't know game" after the public finds out their pots are made of lead. This is the Amazon business model.
FYI... Indian aluminum pressure cookers (and I guess Pakistani cookers too) ALSO have very high concentrations of lead. In some of the STEEL cookers, some Indian brands also have high lead content in their valves and other components
look up a few charities on charity navigator, it's pretty common for CEOs of non-profits to have six or seven figures salaries. I'm not saying it's right, but I am saying it's not just that guy.
Cool, can we also get Amazon to stop selling deathtraps disguised as litter boxes? What about out of spec fuses? The cheap, poorly designed toy cars that cause all their batteries to burst and are full of choking hazards? Can we get Amazon to stop allowing businesses from paying for reviews? Punish them maybe?
The biggest problem with Amazon is that it refuses to list country of origin. I know for a fact that there are plenty of people who want to know. Get your stuff from civilized, Christian countries to avoid poisoning your family.
As required by law, every single Amazon listing has country of origin. The notion that civilization, as defined by Western ideals or personal choices in religion, influences the quality and safety of products is misguided. Quality and safety stem from rigorous standards, ethical practices, and scientific advancements, not cultural or religious backgrounds.

Thank you Seattle, King County, and Washington.

Amazon sells lots of cheap stuff. This doesn't suprise me.😢
Eating lead WOW 2023 ANYTHING FOR THE DOLLAR!!! SAD !!! thank for stopping the poisoning!!!!
I watched a video on how these are made. They start out as pieces of engine blocks. There lies the issue.
Actual testing and journalism to protect the public? NICE WORK, KING5!
There are literally youtube videos of them melting random car parts into these pots. Random car parts.

Now I'm afraid of eating at any Afghan restaurants.
Should not even be cooking in aluminum pots
Their for sale again on Amazon.
@@jonflanagin6682 not the imported ones like they are talking about.
They usually are, just like asian cheap websites, they just sell them under another name again.
FYI...

But they still selling teflon cookware????
I have a permanent limp because of a roadside Afghan pressure cooker.
I don't have any draim bramage.
Nah you good bro, I can tell you're doing just fine 💯☺️
How about rice cookers? Aren't they made out of aluminum? If yes, then manufacturers should be mandated too to use a safer materials.
Afghan people: that's why we're immune from chemical bombs and won two wars 😅
Buy a Dutch Oven for outdoor cooking Made In USA.
Le Creuset is very good too.
Will any manufacturers adopt these designs for cookers made from safer materials?
Yeah, the american pressure cooker company in Wisconsin.
@@RRaucina They don't look the same, are just not poisonous and don't explode as easy.
Pressure cookers have been around for ages. These were cheap and looked "kewl".🥵
No because the cookware is rtded and has a small consumer base that relies on government handouts
@@winstonelston5743 I would buy a cast iron version in a heartbeat.
SCAMAZON
What about the Chinese popcorn poppers that are a miniature version of these?
Better to be prudent.
Diy IED cooker with lead...
Mr. non-profit guy is wearing a rolex Daytona, which is 30+ plus. Hmm, that might be something to look into.

Typically only 10% goes to where they say, 90% goes to “administration costs”
Kinda explains the taliban.🤔

All of afghans pots and pans are made from recycled aluminum castings.
its not that much lead; i'm sure its fine
Can I text weed instead?
Why anyone would use terrorist pressure cookers is beyond me
Anything to make money
Kicking arse since the US ran
2:45 epic comb over
Well done 👌🏻 just buy an instant pot.
Mmmm tasty lead. Sure explains a few things.
No disrespect but I hear that Trump has used one of these Afan "cookers" for years. Honestly, that makes a lot of sense. Just saying.
Now things are actually starting to make sense! And yes, no disrespect intended.
How's your new president?
Afan ? Cat lady ?
@@10MM-MAGAMAN-420 Good catch, 10MM. My stepmom was right... I'm worthless But I will make this a "learning moment". Thank you
@@ovalwingnut stop eating cats
The deportation now
When used these have blown more folk to bits than the IEDs they make over there.

Science and religion are completely not connected
Such a nice meal! Where's Mr Faizul's wife?? I see rocket fast integration in progress.
Better than eating McDonald!
Why would anyone buy anything from Afghanistan???
@@carefulsum people in the 'western world' have been buying and collecting beautiful and expensive rugs from Afghanistan for centuries.
