St. Louis, MO – Hundreds of thousands of Ozark Trail 64 oz stainless-steel water bottles sold at Walmart stores nationwide are being recalled, raising urgent safety concerns for consumers in Missouri and across the U.S.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), approximately 850,000 Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles, model 83-662, are being pulled from shelves due to a significant risk of serious impact and laceration hazards. The CPSC states that the lid can forcefully eject, allegedly causing injuries, when consumers attempt to open the capped bottles after storing food, carbonated beverages, or perishable liquids—such as juice or milk—inside the bottles over time.
The recall, issued Wednesday, affects bottles sold exclusively at Walmart stores and online. Shoppers are being urged to stop using the bottles immediately and to contact Walmart for a full refund.
The CPSC and Walmart have not disclosed any reported injuries as of publication, but the recall notice highlights the potential for harm if the recalled bottles are used with unsuitable contents. The recalled product can be identified by the Ozark Trail logo and the model number 83-662.
Consumers in Missouri and throughout the Midwest who own these bottles should return them to Walmart for a refund. The recall covers units purchased prior to July 10, 2025. Walmart is encouraging customers to report any safety incidents related to this recall.
