(WHTM) – Walmart is recalling about 850,000 Ozark Trail water bottles after multiple injuries, including two incidents that resulted in consumers suffering permanent blindness, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The CPSC stated that the screwcap lid on the 64-ounce stainless steel water bottles “can forcefully eject” when opening after food or beverages have been inside for a while.

So far, the CPSC says it has received three reports of people being struck in the face by the bottles’ lids. Two people have suffered permanent vision loss after being hit in the eye.

The bottles, which have been sold in Walmart stores nationwide since 2017, are silver with a black lid and the Ozark Trail logo on the side.

They bear the model number 83-662 on the product packaging, the CPSC says.

Consumers are urged to stop using the affected bottles immediately. They can also return them to the nearest Walmart for a full refund.
