Federal safety officials and manufacturers announced a series of recalls and warnings involving millions of consumer products, citing risks ranging from serious injury to fire and electrocution hazards.
The largest recall involves Thermos Stainless King food jars and bottles, with about 8.2 million units affected. The recall includes model numbers SK3000 and SK3020 food jars and SK3010 food and beverage bottles manufactured before July 2023.
According to the recall notice, the containers pose a hazard because “the stopper can forcefully eject when opened,” particularly if perishable food or beverages are stored for extended periods. That defect “can result in serious impact injury and laceration hazards to the consumer.”
Thermos said it has received 27 reports of incidents in which an ejected stopper struck consumers. Injuries included cuts and impact trauma requiring medical attention, and three consumers suffered permanent vision loss after being hit in the eye.
The products were sold at major retailers, including Target and Walmart, as well as online through Amazon and the company’s websites, between March 2008 and July 2024 for about $30.
Consumers are urged to stop using the affected containers immediately and contact Thermos for a free replacement. Depending on the model, customers may need to discard the stopper and submit a photo or return the product using a prepaid shipping label.
In a separate recall, DGIVOVO US electric pressure washers are being pulled from the market due to a serious risk of shock or electrocution. The affected units, model C4012PLUS-1500C, lack an integral ground-fault circuit-interrupter, a key safety feature designed to prevent electrical hazards.
About 50 units are included in the recall. The pressure washers, sold online through Amazon between October 2025 and January 2026 for about $90, came in red, green, or blue with black and included accessories such as a hose, spray can, and nozzles.
No injuries have been reported, but consumers are instructed to stop using the devices immediately. To receive a replacement, customers must destroy the unit by cutting the power cord and provide photographic proof to the company.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a safety warning for ZroeZroe heated insoles, urging consumers to stop using them immediately due to a fire hazard. The insoles contain a lithium-ion battery that can overheat and ignite during use.
The agency said it is aware of 10 incidents involving fires or thermal events tied to the product, resulting in at least four burn injuries, including second- and third-degree burns that required skin grafts.
The insoles, sold on Amazon and eBay, are black and red and powered by a battery located in the heel area. The China-based manufacturer has not responded to requests for a recall or additional information. and the number of these products sold in the U.S. is unknown.
Consumers are advised to dispose of the insoles in accordance with local hazardous waste procedures and not to place them in regular trash or standard recycling due to the fire risk posed by defective lithium-ion batteries.
Anyone who has experienced a safety incident with this product is urged to report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov.
