https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/living/story/8-million-thermos-jars-bottles-recalled-after-3-132568152From 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.
@bloodravenlib oh fuck gotta return my @thermia

@bloodravenlib As I read this over, I realize my own non-Thermos thermos thing actually has the same flaw with the lack of a pressure release valve. -
@bloodravenlib What makes these models worse than other bottles without a pressure release valve? 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.
@pianosaurus @bloodravenlib
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.

@bloodravenlib I was absolutely filled with dread from the story. How many other food or drink storage items are poisoning me? Is it already too late?
A whole tsunami of relief came over me finding out that the damage was mechanical. I was not prepared for such an emotional roller coaster so early in the morning.

@bloodravenlib don't put anything that fizzes or ferments into an airtight container. don't do that. for what is not, for some reason, obvious reasons.

@bloodravenlib so ... company has to make recall because people put something that can easily pressurize itself inside and then try to open it while targetting their faces?
its the same level as "warning hot" on a coffee cup or "do not drink" on a car coolant.
-
@bloodravenlib Oh shoot, so it's like a car radiator cap under pressure? What a nightmare.
@nantucketlit @bloodravenlib every sealed container with something hot or carbonated or ... able to rot WILL do the same.
closed bottle with carbonated water during a hot.day can pop, same as closed beer can...
they are all bombs if not treated with a bit of care

From the article:
> The malfunction is due to multiple models of containers missing a pressure relief function in the center of the stopper. -
