- On July 10, 2025, Walmart announced a recall of approximately 850,000 stainless steel water bottles from the Ozark Trail brand, sized 64 ounces, due to lids that can detach unexpectedly and cause injuries to users across the country.

- The Consumer Product Safety Commission warned that the lid poses "serious impact and laceration hazards" and advised consumers to stop using the product and seek a refund.
- This recall highlights the risk of the lids ejecting forcefully, which may lead to further injuries or consumer caution in purchasing similar products.
