Thermos recalls 4 million vacuum food jars in China
BEIJING, May 29 (Reuters) - Thermos is voluntarily recalling 4 million vacuum food jars in China, China's state market regulator said in a notice on Friday, citing risk of injury as "sealing stoppers may forcefully eject when opened" if perishable food or beverages have been stored for an extended period of time.
The company is recalling two models of high-vacuum stainless steel food jars manufactured between 2011 and 2023, the notice showed. Thermos will provide affected consumers with new sealing stoppers with pressure relief valves and cover related costs.
Last month, Thermos recalled 8.2 million jars and bottles in the U.S. citing a similar hazard after it received reports of consumers who had been struck and injured by the ejecting stoppers, a notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission showed.
