A flask sold in millions to keep food hot has left three Americans permanently blind in one eye, prompting Thermos L.L.C. to recall around 8.2 million Stainless King food jars and Sportsman bottles after US safety officials found their stoppers can forcefully eject when opened.
The recall, announced on 30 April 2026, covers products sold for almost two decades at major retailers including Walmart and Target. Regulators say the defect has already caused dozens of documented injuries.
