Kmart recalls pickle jar due to explosion risks

Kmart has issued a recall for its Anko Glass Flip Pickle Jar due to safety concerns. The jars have reportedly exploded, causing serious injuries to some users. The company is urging customers to stop using the product immediately. They should return the jar to any Kmart store for a refund, whether or not they have a receipt. The recall affects jars sold between February 15, 2023, and March 3, 2025. The product can break when used to store certain fruits or vegetables in liquid. This can cause pressure to build up, leading to explosions. There have been documented injuries. Customers could face serious cuts if the jar explodes or if the lid breaks during removal. Earlier stories about jars exploding have raised alarms. One woman described an incident where glass shattered around her, narrowly missing her eye. Another customer shared a photo of her exploded jar on social media, warning others about the risks.
