Investing.com -- Walmart (NYSE:WMT) has recalled approximately 850,000 Ozark Trail water bottles following reports of injuries, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday.
The $15 stainless steel insulated bottles, manufactured in China, pose laceration hazards as the lid can forcefully eject when consumers try to open them after storing food and beverages for extended periods.
Three injuries have been reported in connection with the bottles. Two individuals suffered permanent vision loss after being hit in the eye when the lids ejected, according to the agency.
The safety commission did not provide specific details about the third reported injury. Walmart has not immediately responded to requests for comment regarding the recall.
