BATON ROUGE \u2014 A water bottle sold by Walmart has been recalled after multiple customers “suffered permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye” by the bottle’s lid.<\/p>\n
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said that the Ozark Trail 64-ounce stainless steel insulated water bottles sold by Walmart since 2017 have been the subject of several reports where people were injured when struck in the face by a lid forcefully ejected from these bottles upon opening.<\/p>\n
At least two customers were permanently blinded, CPSC said.<\/p>\n
While the bottles themselves are not labeled with a model number, the recalled bottles had the model number 83-662 on the product packaging.<\/p>\n
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and contact Walmart for a full refund. Consumers can bring the bottle to their nearest Walmart store for a refund,” CPSC said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BATON ROUGE \u2014 A water bottle sold by Walmart has been recalled after multiple customers “suffered permanent vision…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28,4377,4376,4373,4374,4371,4375,4378,4372,4369,4370],"class_list":{"0":"post-3801","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-consumerproductsafetycommission","10":"tag-cpsc","11":"tag-insulated","12":"tag-lidexplosion","13":"tag-ozarktrail","14":"tag-permanentvisionloss","15":"tag-refund","16":"tag-stainlesssteel","17":"tag-walmart","18":"tag-waterbottlerecall"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
