Thailand orders halt to sales of 2 Thermos bottle models after explosions — confirmed details at this stage for Phuket readers.
Thailand’s consumer protection authorities on May 8 ordered a halt to sales of two Thermos bottle models after reports they exploded during use, with the order carrying immediate relevance in Phuket where the products are sold through major retail channels. Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Minister Supamas Isarabhakdi announced the move after foreign media reports raised safety concerns over the containers.
Order targets two Thermos models after reported incidents
The suspension covers two Thermos product models identified by authorities, who said the action was taken to prevent further risk while the cases are examined.
Officials said the bottles were linked to explosions during normal use, prompting the ministry to direct an urgent sales halt rather than wait for a broader review.
The order was announced on May 8, 2026, and came from Supamas in her capacity overseeing the ministry’s response to the reported product safety issue.
Authorities have not expanded the measure beyond the two specified models.
