From the headline I thought it was some kind of metal poisoning or other contamination issue. Hell no. The damn thing basically is a loaded cannon waiting to shoot it's lid on your fucking face.

If you got one of these, get rid of it now.

its the same level as "warning hot" on a coffee cup or "do not drink" on a car coolant.

I'd say your explanation is probably correct. On my thermos, the seal let's go one and a half turn before the thread ends.

Less when there is a vacuum inside, because of the direction it seals, so if anything, high pressure would release even earlier.

Is it that the caps have short threads, so they are free to move out very soon when unscrewing?

I'm thinking this is probably a potential issue on other brands and models too, so I'd like to be aware of the root cause.

The cap of the bottle hit my palm so hard it got bruised. I was partially leaning over it, without the palm in the way the cap might have hit my head. So it's not that people intentionally point containers at their faces, but in some situations leaning over (think leaning down during a hike etc) can aim straight at the face.

His kid left some unfinished mac and cheese fermenting in it for a week because of spring break, when he tried to open it, it took a wrench and the lid exploded into his arm and caused a massive bruise. He'd blamed it on the food fermenting which surely contributed, but this explains why it was so bad (luckily just bruised).
