@bloodravenlib one of my friends shared this because it was involved in the "Mac and Cheese bomb incident 3 years ago." 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).

@bloodravenlib Huh. Well, I guess it doesn't hurt to always open bottles away from you or anyone else, like we do with champagne

@bloodravenlib Oh shoot, so it's like a car radiator cap under pressure? What a nightmare.

@bloodravenlib Thanks for the post. I have one of these 16 oz. food jars, and I will be responding to the recall.

@bloodravenlib Sounds more like improper use of thermos food, and liquid, containers. However, Thermos is taking the risk seriously. We've had a quart Thermos bottle (to hold boiling water), for 30+ years, with no incident.

@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.

@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 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 @Viss Blimey! (in the literal sense!) We have, well /had/, one of those stubby ones missing the pressure relief part. Thank you both, much appreciated.

@bloodravenlib sounds like you have to let the contents ferment in it for it to do that.
