Thermoses, baby toys, furniture, and more are part of this week's recalls By News Desk of ConsumerAffairs May 1, 2026 Recent notices from the CPSC, FDA and USDA FSIS cover everything from food containers and childrens products to medical fluids and salmonella-related food alerts. Thermos jars and bottles can eject stoppers Thermos is recalling about 8.2 million containers after reports that pressure can build inside and launch the stopper when opened. If perishable food or drinks sit in the container too long, the stopper can forcefully eject and cause serious impact and laceration injuries. About 5.8 million Stainless King Food Jars and 2.3 million Sportsman Food & Beverage Bottles were sold nationwide and online between 2008 and 2024. Consumers should stop using the recalled containers immediately and contact Thermos for a replacement stopper or replacement bottle. Thermos L.L.C., of Schaumburg, Illinois, is recalling Stainless King Food Jars with model numbers SK3000 and SK3020 made before July 2023, along with all Sportsman Food & Beverage Bottles with model number SK3010. The stainless containers were sold in multiple colors and sizes, and the Thermos trademark appears on the side while the model number is printed on the bottom. The company said the recalled stoppers do not have a pressure relief in the center. The hazard Pressure can build up if perishable food or beverages are stored in the container for an extended period. When the consumer opens it, the stopper can shoot out with force, creating serious impact and laceration hazards. Thermos has received 27 reports of consumers being struck by an ejected stopper, including injuries that required medical attention. Three consumers suffered permanent vision loss after being hit in the eye. What to do Consumers should stop using the recalled food jars and bottles immediately. Thermos is offering a free replacement pressure-relief stopper for the recalled SK3000 and SK3020 food jars and a replacement bottle for the recalled SK3010 bottles. For the food jars, consumers will be asked to throw away the stopper and send Thermos a photo of the disposed stopper. For the recalled bottle, consumers will be asked to return it using a prepaid shipping label.
