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...?

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?

Too few threads, or too low a thread count?

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.

Finally a suggestion worthy of a PhD. :-)

Another bottle I have unscrews a bit but is still held in by a thick metal thread, with room to vent in that condition.

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.

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.
