@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.

[wikiyu@infosec.exchange]

@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.

@bloodravenlib hot thermoses in your area are waiting for you

@Tooden @bloodravenlib it's not an improper use, it's an improper design. Watch the picture of the caps in the article.
It's dangerous by design.

@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.

@jawnsy @bloodravenlib I never did it any other way
