A drink bottle is being urgently removed from Kmart and Target shelves following a series of alarming incidents where the lid flew off like a projectile.
The two-litre stainless steel bottle, which comes in both green and black, has been found to have a dangerous fault that causes the lid to shrink when exposed to hot liquids.

The defect has led to multiple incidents where the lid has been propelled off the bottle, posing a serious safety risk to customers.
Both major retailers are now pulling the product from their stores as a precautionary measure.
Customers who have purchased the affected bottle are being urged to stop using it immediately and return it to their nearest Kmart or Target store for a full refund.
No receipt is required for the refund, with both chains prioritising customer safety over standard return policies.
