    While still a major cause for concern, I’m glad my first assumption was wrong - that the bottles were made of some horrible, poisonous material.

    The Ozark Trail water bottles also caused other injuries, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission said the screw-cap lid on the stainless steel water bottles, which hold 64 ounces, may “forcefully eject” when opening them after they have been used to hold food or beverages for a period of time.

      Are you telling me that you don’t open a water bottle with your eyelids? Not even to impress the ladies?
