In a shocking safety alert, Walmart has issued a massive recall for 850,000 thermos bottlesafter reports surfaced linking them to serious vision problems — even potential vision loss.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the bottles may contain dangerous levels of lead in their stainless-steel lining. Lead exposure, especially over time, can cause irreversible health issues, including neurological damage and loss of eyesight.
The affected thermos bottles were sold nationwide in Walmart stores and online over the past year, marketed under several popular designs and colors. Customers who purchased one are being urged to stop using it immediately and return it for a full refund.
Health experts are warning that lead poisoning can be especially harmful to children, with symptoms ranging from headaches and abdominal pain to vision impairment and cognitive decline.
If you own one of these bottles, check Walmart’s official recall page for product codes and details — and don’t take any chances with your health.
