Walmart is taking 850,000 water bottles off the market after customers reported being hit in the face with the lid. Two people suffered permanent vision loss after trying to open Ozark Trail stainless steel water bottles, according to a report.

That's a pressure vessel and should have been outfitted with a pressure relief valve. When you create such an effective seal, you have to see the hazard that creates.

On the upside there are only 393 million privately owned guns in the US, and none of those ever go off in anyone's face.

In this economy, even the water bottles are weaponized. The real story isn’t faulty lids — it’s how fast companies act after the damage is public. Liability moves faster than ethics. 📜 dailyliesreport.substack.com/p/the-powell...

It was the same aisle in my Wal-Mart, until they removed the guns and, for some reason, fabric.

Wow. In Murica you must recall a product when the costumer doesn't know, that building up pressure can have consequences. How long was the liquid inside that the pressure was so high, that permanent vision loss is the outcome?

It’s a stainless steel top…

Note this only happens when the fluids inside can produce gas. I wonder how this can be prevented?

By designing a consumer product that can handle the reasonably expected pressures that may be generated by typical beverages one might put into a beverage container?
jul 11, 2025, 11:08 pm • 1 0 • view
My understanding is that the top flies off when opening it, not while it's just sitting there, so it's not a matter of the container not being able to handle the pressure.
jul 11, 2025, 11:19 pm • 0 0 • view
Here's a tip: if you can't open it safely, it doesn't handle the pressure.
jul 11, 2025, 11:25 pm • 0 0 • view
I recommend you not check to see what's up if your car tells you it's overheating. Pretty sure it can handle the pressure, though.

As to what they're going to fix in a recall here? No idea. Don't put carbonated beverages in a sealed container.

Unlike a car, a beverage vessel is intended to be regularly opened by unskilled consumers, and does not have handy indicators of whether it is in an unsafe condition.

and the solution here is...?
jul 11, 2025, 11:33 pm • 1 0 • view
Design it so that the pressure can equalize without the cap flying off? It's not rocket science, I don't think it would take a competent engineer long to find a few dozen possible solutions.

Perhaps there is more to the story. Do these bottles differ somehow from the half dozen in my pantry dating back a couple of decades?

Which goes back to my original question. Do other bottles have such a feature? I've never noticed it if they do.

My Yeti travel mug cap has thick screw threads and a second stop, which would likely handle it.

The fact that a couple of people were injured out of close to a million customers doesn't necessarily indicate an unsafe condition. There is no product so safe that people can't figure out a way to hurt themselves with it.
jul 11, 2025, 11:36 pm • 1 0 • view
The whole point of the CPSC is to make more products more safe so even rare but foreseeable and addressable safety issues can be minimized. Having household items that in reasonable usage can become extremely and silently dangerous is bad and we should maybe stop that.

Ever open a champagne bottle? What I'm wondering if these bottles are no more defective than any other bottle, but just a couple of weird accidents that got publicity.

A 64 oz water bottle?? Who is walking around with a 1/2 gallon water bottle, #1. And then putting nearly a 2L bottle of seltzer in it, #2. This is just natural selection at work.
