Thermos Recalls Millions of Jars, Stoppers Explode

0:00Thermos just hit us with a massive recall on over 8 million jars and bottles after reports of serious injuries from exploding stoppers. We're talking, models SK3000 and SK300020 food jars made before July 2023 plus all SK300010 bottles. This went out nationwide on Thursday, urging everyone to stop using them right away. The issue is the stoppers shooting out with force when folks try to open the containers. Thermos has logged at least 27 complaints where people got hit, leading to cuts, impacts and trips to the doctor. Among those, three customers ended up with permanent vision loss after getting struck in the eye. That's the kind of damage that hits hard and sticks. No new injuries reported yet, but officials are pushing hard for returns. For the jars, snap a photo of the toss stopper and send it to Thermos for a free replacement. Bottle owners get a prepaid label to shift them back. Heads up, check your gear and swap it out quick to dodge any more trouble on this one. This has been Harford News Today, powered by AI.
