The Consumer Product Safety Commission says Walmart was allegedly aware for seven years that a recently recalled water bottle sold in its stores posed a danger before two people were partially blinded by it.
Last month, Walmart announced that it would recall around 850,000 Ozark Trail 64-ounce stainless-steel water bottles after reports emerged that the lids could “forcefully eject,” causing serious injuries, including partial blindness in two users. The retailer said that customer safety is a top priority and offered full $15 refunds to owners of the affected bottles.
