My new water filter pitcher has a lid that refuses to stay on

I bought this filter pitcher last week at the Target on Elm Street. Every time I tip it to pour water, the lid pops off and splashes water all over the counter. I have to hold the lid down with one hand while pouring with the other. It completely defeats the purpose of a simple pitcher. I checked the seal and it seems fine, the latch just doesn't grip properly. For a 30 dollar purchase I expected more basic function. Has anyone else dealt with a lid that won't stay put on a kitchen gadget? I am this close to drilling a small hole and adding a bungee cord to keep it shut.

Did you see that Consumer Reports article about this brand having lid issues?

Honestly I think the bigger issue is that they changed the plastic blend like two years ago and never told anyone. The old lids felt way more solid these new ones are basically designed to crack.
