Discontinue the 304 32oz line. Five consecutive weeks of negative slope; reviews dominated by 'metal taste' complaints.
Rationale
304 32oz scored 0.19 across multiple weeks; 60%+ of negative reviews cite metal taste. The replacement signal (ceramic-coated, 316L) is now in scope.
Expected outcome
Cease reorders by 2026-04-15. Run inventory down on existing stock through Q2.
