Walmart Issues Nationwide Recall on 850,000 Water Bottles After 2 People Blinded
Ozark Trail, Walmart's private-label brand is a go-to for many shoppers seeking outdoor gear and camping equipment. Their products are known for being dupes of name brand items, such as tumblers, wagons, backpacks, tents and coolers. Walmart recently issued a recall on one of their most popular Ozark Trail items that consumers should be aware of.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Walmart recalls 850,000 Ozark Trail 64-ounce Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles due to serious impact and laceration hazards. According to the report, 'the lid can forcefully eject, posing serious impact and laceration hazards, when a consumer attempts to open the capped bottles after food, carbonated beverages or perishable beverages, such as juice or milk, are stored inside over time.'

Walmart has received three reports of injuries because of the lid "forcefully popping off" of the bottle when opened. All three customers who reported injuries were hit in the face, with two of them reporting permanent vision damage due to eye injuries.
The water bottles are silver with a one-piece black screw cap lid. The original product package displays a model number of 83-662, but the model number is not printed on the water bottle itself.
Owners of this product should discontinue use and can return the bottle to a Walmart store for a full refund.
