Popular Thermos product recalled after multiple people blinded
A global recall notice for a popular insulated food container has reached Australia after several people were blinded.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on Wednesday issued an alert over Thermos’ 470ml and 710ml Stainless King Food Jars because it “does not have a pressure release valve”.
“Pressure may build up inside the container and may cause the stopper beneath the lid to eject forcefully when opened,” the ACCC said.
It adds users risk “serious injury” if the affected stopper ejects after dozens of incidents were recorded in the United States.
Three people suffered permanent vision loss after the stopper struck them in the eye.
