Drinkmate Bottle Explosion Lawsuit

Carbonated drink makers are meant to add a little fizz to your day, not send you to the emergency room. Unfortunately, consumers who purchased certain Drinkmate 1-Liter Carbonation Bottles are now facing unexpected dangers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced a recall after reports that the bottles can explode under pressure, posing serious impact and laceration hazards.

If you or a loved one was injured by an exploding Drinkmate carbonation bottle, you may be entitled to compensation. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin is reviewing claims nationwide for those who suffered injuries from defective carbonation bottles.

What’s Happening With the Drinkmate Recall?

Drinkmate, a popular at-home carbonation brand, recalled approximately 260,000 units of its 1-Liter Carbonation Bottles in early 2025. According to the CPSC, these bottles can burst under pressure, sending plastic shards flying and risking severe injuries.

Key Recall Details:

• Product: Drinkmate 1-Liter Carbonation Bottles
• Hazard: Explosion risk, causing impact injuries and cuts
• Reported Incidents: Multiple complaints of bottles rupturing during normal use
• Where Sold: Online and in major retailers nationwide
• Remedy: Stop using immediately and contact Drinkmate for replacement

Why Do Drinkmate Bottles Explode?

The recall points to structural weaknesses in the plastic bottle design. Over time, repeated carbonation cycles weaken the material, leading to rupture under pressure.

When these bottles fail, they don’t simply leak — they can explode violently, scattering sharp fragments and causing injuries to the user’s face, eyes, and hands.

Types of Injuries Reported

An exploding carbonation bottle can be as dangerous as shattered glass. Injuries may include:

• Lacerations: Deep cuts to hands, arms, and face from flying shards
• Eye Injuries: Corneal scratches or permanent vision loss from fragments
• Concussions or Head Trauma: If the bottle explodes close to the face
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Bruising and contusions from the force of impact
• Scarring or Disfigurement: From deep cuts or surgical repair

Even a “minor” cut can require stitches or leave lasting scars. In more severe cases, victims may need surgery, eye treatment, or long-term medical care.

Legal Options After a Drinkmate Bottle Explosion

Manufacturers and distributors are legally responsible for ensuring their products are safe. When a carbonation bottle fails during normal use, it may give rise to a product liability lawsuit.

Potential compensation may include:

• Medical expenses (emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation)
• Lost wages or income if you miss work due to injuries
• Pain and suffering for physical and emotional distress
• Costs of future medical care
• Scarring or permanent impairment damages

Example of Exploding Bottle Cases

Our firm has handled defective product claims involving pressurized containers before, including soda bottles and pressure cookers that burst unexpectedly. In one case, a consumer required facial skin grafting after a product exploded during ordinary use. The litigation led to a settlement covering medical bills, pain and suffering and future treatment.

Drinkmate explosion lawsuits are similar in nature: a consumer buys a product expecting it to be safe, but instead suffers harm due to an alleged design flaw or inadequate warnings.

What To Do If You Own a Drinkmate Carbonation Bottle

If you purchased one of the recalled bottles and were injured, here’s what you should do:

1. Stop using it immediately – The longer you use it, the greater the risk of rupture.
2. Check the CPSC recall notice – Verify the model and production codes of your bottle.
3. Preserve the product – If you were injured, do not throw the bottle away. It could serve as key evidence.
4. Seek medical treatment – Even if the injury seems minor, proper care is crucial.
5. Contact a lawyer – If you suffered injuries, a product liability lawyer can advise you on compensation options.
