Walmart is recalling approximately 850,000 Ozark Trail water bottles after reports of injuries involving their screwcap lids, including two cases where customers suffered permanent blindness, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a notice on Thursday.

“The lid can forcefully eject, posing serious impact and laceration hazards, when a consumer attempts to open the capped bottles after food, carbonated beverages, or perishable beverages, such as juice or milk, are stored inside over time,” the CPSC said.
