Walmart Recalls 850K Insulated Bottles From Michigan Stores

Walmart just announced a recall across all of its stores here in Michigan, after roughly 850,000 Ozark Trail 64-oz stainless steel insulated water bottles (model83-662) were found to be defective. The silver bottles with black screw on lids had been sold since 2017 for about $15 a piece.

The Problem?

The bottles have been known to explode and build up pressure when food, milk, juice or even carbonated drinks are stored in these bottles for a length of time. When opened, the lid may shoot off with force, potentially hitting someone in the face or the eye.

There have been three documented incidents where the lid struck users in the face, and in one of the instances, the individual permanently lost vision in their eye. This is a clear danger to anyone using the product.

Recall Details

Take a look at the details revolving around this product recall. You may want to pay extra close attention to the dangers involved in this recall.

• Bottles were exclusively sold at Walmart Stores
• Model numbers may appear only on the packaging, so unless you still have the box, look instead for the silver body, black cap, and Ozark Trail logo.

Consumers are urged to stop using the product immediately and return to any Walmart store for a full refund or contact Walmart Customer Service.

If you or someone you know may have one of these products, it may not be worth taking the risk. It may benefit you to hand it back and get your $15 back.
