Walmart in crisis? Tech giant recalls 850K bottles after exploding caps leave two permanently blind
Tech giant Walmart on Thursday said it has recalled hundreds of thousands of zark brand reusable water bottles over potential injury hazard, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced this week. Walmart is recalling 850,000 stainless steel water bottles because the lid can 'forcefully eject' and unexpectedly strike consumers which led to permanent vision loss for two people to date. On Thursday, the CPSC issued a recall notice for Ozark Trail 64-ounce Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles that may have been purchased from the retailer online or in stores, as per ABC News. Walmart also listed the voluntary recall on its website, linking customers to the CPSC notice. Walmart has recalled about 850,000 bottles that were manufactured in China and sold since 2017 for about $15, the CPSC said. The recall covers Walmart's 'Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles," which have been sold at the chain's stores across the country since 2017. According to a notice published by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday, these products pose 'serious impact and laceration hazards.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo ALSO READ: Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce spent July 4 weekend at ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club.

From Superman to Jedi: AI memes of Donald Trump shared by the White House
US President Donald Trump 's second term in office has been anything but quiet − shaped by military strikes, tariffs, aid cuts, travel bans, nuclear talks and trade deals. But something else that stands out, compared to his first term, are his media team's AI-generated memes. In a post shared by the White House's official social media accounts on Friday, the US President is transformed into a fictional superhero − Superman. Here's a round-up of White House AI-generated photos of Mr Trump since his second term began in January. Superman Trump The photo depicts the President mid-air in the famed red and blue Superman suit. The post is captioned: 'THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. #SUPERMAN TRUMP'. Social media users were critical of the image in the comments section, labelling it as 'embarrassing' and wondering if a 'six-year-old runs the page'. The post also coincides with the release of James Gunn's Superman movie, which some reviewers have interpreted as a critical response to the actions of US ally Israel in Gaza. Jedi Trump On May 4, the White House account posted a meme of Mr Trump reimagined as a buff Jedi warrior in celebration of Star Wars Day. The caption reads: 'Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You're not the Rebellion – you're the Empire. May the 4th be with you.' Comments by social media users again described the post as 'embarrassing', while others questioned the red light sabre held by the President in the image − which is traditionally only used by 'the dark side' in the franchise. Trump the Pope On May 3, the White House shared an image of the President dressed as a pope with no caption, just weeks after Pope Francis 's death in April 2025. The AI render came at a time when the world was mourning the late pontiff and cardinals were choosing a new pope to head the Catholic Church. It also came just days after the President jokingly told media: 'I'd like to be Pope'. The image was met with backlash from some Catholics who accused Mr Trump of mocking their faith. The President said he had nothing to do with the photo, and that he 'had no idea where it came from'. King Trump The fourth and final meme, shared by the White House on February 19, depicts the President on the cover of what resembles Time magazine, but under the name of Trump. Mr Trump is illustrated with a crown on his head with text that reads: 'Long live the king.' In the post, the President likens himself to royalty in response to his administration's move to quash New York City's congestion pricing programme. The caption accompanying the post reads: 'CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!' – President Donald J. Trump'
