Walmart recalls 850K Ozark Trail water bottles after reports of vision loss

About 850,000 water bottles sold at Walmart are being recalled after customers reported being struck in the face with the lid, causing some to permanently lose their vision.  

The lid of the Ozark Trail 64 oz. Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles can forcefully eject, causing “serious impact and laceration hazards,” according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). 

The regulatory agency said this occurs when people attempt to open the capped bottles after food, carbonated beverages or perishable beverages have been stored inside over time.
