Thermos has issued a recall of 8 million food jars and bottles due to a dangerous design flaw in the lid's stopper. The affected products include the stainless King 3000 and 3020 food jars, as well as the Sportsman 3010 food and beverage bottles, sold between 2008 and 2024 at major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the stopper lacks a pressure relief mechanism, allowing internal pressure to build when food or drinks are stored for long periods. This can cause the stopper to eject forcefully when opened. Over two dozen incidents have been reported, including cuts and bruises. Most critically, three individuals suffered permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye by the flying stopper. The recall highlights long-term risks in products assumed to be safe through years of use.
