thermos food jar recall
Definition
A voluntary product recall announced by Thermos in May 2026 affecting about 8.2 million Stainless King food jars (models SK3000 and SK3020 made before July 2023) and all SK3010 beverage bottles due to faulty plastic stoppers that can forcefully eject when twisted open, posing serious risks of impact injuries and lacerations.
The recall follows over 100 consumer reports, including 27 injuries such as deep cuts needing stitches, broken teeth, bruises, and one instance of permanent vision loss from shards; products were sold at Walmart, Target, Amazon, and others from 2011 onward.
