More than 8 million Thermos containers sold across the U.S. are being recalled because their lids can eject and strike users—sometimes causing serious injuries.

The recall, announced April 30 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, comes after 27 reports of people being hit by the container’s stopper. In three cases, consumers were struck in the eye and suffered permanent vision loss.1

The products were sold nationwide between March 2008 and July 2024 at major retailers, including Target and Walmart, as well as online through Amazon and Thermos.
