The Anko glass flip pickle jar, available at Kmart and Target, gained popularity online as users shared videos showcasing its innovative design for storing pickles, olives, and various fermented foods. The jar features a unique mechanism that allows the liquid to be drained into a separate compartment when it’s time to eat.
However, a safety alert has been issued regarding this product. There are concerns that the jar may shatter when used to store specific fruits or vegetables in liquid. Additionally, fermented foods kept in these jars can produce gas, resulting in potential explosions or making the lid challenging to remove.
The Public Safety Announcement (PSA) highlighted the risks associated with the jar, stating that serious injuries from lacerations have already occurred. Due to these hazards, users are advised to stop using the jar immediately and return it to Kmart or Target for a full refund.
