  Tilting the product abruptly may cause the contents to come out too fast, potentially causing scalds.
• Consume beverages as soon as possible.
  If they are left in the bottle for a long time, gases may be generated due to spoilage, raising the pressure inside the product and causing the stopper part to become stuck or the beverage to spurt out. Furthermore, parts may be damaged and fly off, causing injuries and stains.
