Walmart has pulled nearly a million Ozark Trail water bottles from shelves after the lids turned into dangerous projectiles, permanently blinding two consumers.
🚨 Why It Matters: The recall affects 850,000 stainless steel bottles that many families rely on daily, with injuries already reported from lids that can explosively eject when opened after storing certain beverages.
🔍 The Details: The 64-ounce stainless steel insulated bottles (model 83-662) can build up dangerous pressure when used to store food, carbonated drinks, or perishable beverages like juice or milk.
- Three consumers have been struck in the face by forcefully ejected lids
- Two people suffered permanent vision loss after being hit in the eye
- The bottles have been sold at Walmart stores and online since 2017 for about $15
⚠️ What To Do Now: Stop using these bottles immediately and return them to any Walmart store for a full refund.
- Look for silver stainless steel bottles with black one-piece screwcap lids
- The bottles measure 4.41 x 4.41 x 11.5 inches with an Ozark Trail logo on the side
- The model number (83-662) appears only on packaging, not on the bottle itself
