Walmart is recalling about 850,000 Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles (model 83-662) because the lid can forcefully eject when the bottle is opened. This occurs when food, carbonated beverages, or perishable liquids like juice or milk are stored inside over time, causing internal pressure to build. Walmart has received three reports of consumers being struck in the face by the lid, including two reports of permanent vision loss. Consumers should immediately stop using the bottles and return them to any Walmart store for a full refund.
Internal pressure from stored beverages can cause the screwcap lid to fly off with significant force when a user attempts to open the bottle. This poses serious impact and laceration hazards and has already resulted in permanent eye injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and contact Walmart for a full refund. Consumers can bring the bottle to their nearest Walmart store for a refund.
Model number is printed on product packaging only. Bottle dimensions are 4.41 x 4.41 x 11.5 inches. Ozark Trail logo is embedded on the side.
