Thermos Recalls 8.2 Million Jars and Bottles Over Stopper Ejection Hazard
Thermos is recalling about 8.2 million Stainless King Food Jars and Sportsman Food & Beverage Bottles (5.8 million SK3000/SK3020 jars and 2.3 million SK3010 bottles) because their center stoppers lack pressure relief and can eject when opened, posing serious injury risks including eye injuries. Consumers should stop using the products and contact Thermos for a free replacement pressure-relief stopper or bottle. For SK3000/SK3020 jars, discard the old stopper and send Thermos a photo of the disposed stopper; for SK3010 bottles, return the bottle using a prepaid label. The recall covers products sold from 2008 through 2024 at Target, Walmart, Amazon and others. Thermos L.L.C. is the importer; recall announced April 30, 2026, with 27 reported injuries (three permanent vision losses).
