Thermos is recalling more than 8 million jars and bottles following three reports of permanent vision loss due to problems with the stoppers on the containers.

Then it’s all about finding that eye.
My thermos tends to pop, upon opening, if I take off the cap when there are hot liquids in it. I always open the spout first that you drink out of to release the pressure before I take off the cap.
I assume that is what the problem is, people are not opening the spouts first.
We got the notice from Amazon last night
Wondered what this is about.
It’s a great thermos. Reluctant to return it. I use it all the time.
Well, a thermos full of that Johnston County double-charred will set just about anybody free.
If it works for you, I’d disregard the notice. I’d only return for a free redesigned thermos.
If they redesigned the cap with a pop valve to release the pressure before opening, that would probably fix the problem.
They said it’s a danger to people who “leave food in too long”.
So people who forget about their food and let it ferment is what I am thinking.
Thats not me. I like my lunch on the rig.
“It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.”
Yeah, and then it’s histerical! 😂
That makes sense as well.
Never, ever put Ovaltine in your Thermos.
But millions killed by jabs? Keep mandating them!
LoL
Remember when they used to teach us that things expand when heated?
So, when will the big champagne recall begin?
Maybe if they would wear EYE PROTECTION when opening pressurized containers (as required by OSHA, if it’s work related), they’d still have functional eyes.
My coffee cup for driving is a Thermos... never had that done to me...yet
LOL - Perfect!
You win, hands down.
