The Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that the lids can eject forcefully when opening, leading to impact and laceration hazards. While the bottles have been available since 2017, reports of injuries surfaced recently. Walmart urges customers to cease use of the product and offers refunds. The recall emphasizes that customer health and safety is a priority.
Walmart is recalling hundreds of thousands of reusable water bottles after multiple customers reported injuries, some of them going blind. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall due to serious impact and laceration hazards when the lid ejects forcefully upon opening. Injuries reported include permanent vision loss for two consumers struck in the eye by the lid. Walmart has urged customers to stop using the product and is offering full refunds.
The lid can forcefully eject, posing serious impact and laceration hazards, when a consumer attempts to open the capped bottles after food, carbonated beverages or perishable beverages are stored inside.
Walmart stated, "The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority" and confirmed they are cooperating with CPSC to remove the hazardous product.
Customers are directed to return the Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles for full refunds, with safety measures taken in light of reported injuries.
