For some food jars, customers will need to throw away the stopper and send Thermos a photo showing it has been discarded. For the recalled Sportsman bottles, Thermos says customers will need to send the bottle back using a prepaid shipping label.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-25\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside data-nitrous-content-id=\"recirculation_unit_more_recall_news\" class=\"css-1i29kyj e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read Key Points Thermos is recalling more than 8 million food jars and beverage bottles over a dangerous stopper defect.
