Thermos recalls 8.2 million food containers after reports of vision loss from ejecting stoppers
Thermos has recalled 8.2 million food jars and beverage bottles after three reports of vision loss caused by forcefully ejecting stoppers.

Thermos has issued a recall of 8.2 million Stainless King Food Jars and Sportsman Food & Beverage Bottles following reports that stoppers can eject forcefully and cause serious injuries, including vision loss.
Three consumers have reported vision loss injuries linked to the recalled containers. The incidents occurred when stoppers ejected unexpectedly during opening, according to recall information.
The recall warning states that stoppers can forcefully eject when the containers are opened if food and beverages are stored in them for extended periods. This creates a safety hazard that can result in serious injury to users.
The affected products were widely distributed through major retailers including Walmart, Target, and Amazon.com. The recall covers both the Thermos Stainless King Food Jars and the Thermos Sportsman Food & Beverage Bottles.
Consumers who own these products are advised to stop using them immediately and contact Thermos for information about returns or replacements. The company has not yet announced specific details about the recall process or timeline for resolving the safety issue.
