Thermos, based in Illinois, has announced a recall of more than 8 million food jars and bottles due to a serious safety defect that causes stoppers to 'forcefully eject.' This issue has resulted in 27 reports of injuries, including permanent vision loss for three individuals. The recall affects approximately 5.8 million Stainless King Food Jars and 2.3 million Sportsman Food & Beverage Bottles sold over a span of 15 years. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) highlighted that the containers lack a pressure-relief mechanism, which can lead to dangerous pressure buildup when storing perishable items for extended periods. The affected products were sold in various colors at major retailers such as Target and Walmart, as well as online platforms including Amazon. Consumers are advised to cease using these products immediately and contact Thermos for a free replacement stopper or bottle, depending on the model. The recall is a significant safety measure to prevent further injuries.
