Recall of Igloo coolers with risk of amputating fingertips expanded: See list of impacted items

Igloo is recalling an additional 130,000 rolling coolers sold at Costco, Target and Dick's Sporting Goods because the handle can pinch – and possibly amputate – fingertips, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Igloo Products Corp., located in Katy, Texas, recalled about 1,060,000 coolers on Feb. 13 for the same pinching fingertips issue. Also recalled: about 47,000 coolers in Canada and 23,000 in Mexico.
Igloo has updated the recall to include about 130,000 more of the Igloo 90 Quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers manufactured before January 2024. Since the February recall, the cooler maker has received 78 more reports of fingertip injuries, including 26 resulting in fingertip amputations, bone fractures or lacerations, according to the CPSC.
Igloo also recalled an additional 20,000 coolers in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico, the CPSC said.
Furniture and meatballs: IKEA opening new locations in 2025 and 2026. Here's where.
The coolers were sold nationwide (priced at $80 to $140) at Costco, Target, Dick's Sporting Goods, Academy and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Igloocoolers.com, and other websites from January 2019 through January 2025, the CPSC said.
Initially, Igloo said it had gotten 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures and lacerations.
Consumers should stop using the recalled coolers and contact Igloo for a free replacement handle. Anyone with a recalled cooler can call Igloo toll-free at 888-943-5182 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email the company online at igloo90qt@sedgwick.com, use the online recall website or visit the Igloo website and click on 'Recall Information' at the top of the page for more information.
To see if you have one of the more than 1 million recalled coolers, look for the date of manufacture, which is imprinted on the bottom of the cooler in a circular pattern with an arrow pointing to the month of manufacture and the last two digits of the year of manufacture inside the circle.
The coolers have a model number on a label affixed to the bottom of the cooler. The coolers were sold in multiple body and lid color combinations, but all have tow-handles and have "Igloo" printed on the side.

Costco CEO hints at major change members will love

Plenty of retailers claim to care about customers. But Costco actually proves it. Unlike other retailers, membership fees are a big part of Costco's revenue. For this reason, the company goes out of its way to continuously examine and enhance the member experience. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Costco's return policy, for example, is one of the most generous in all of retail. With few exceptions, customers can bring back any item at any time for a refund, even if it's been months since the date of purchase. Related: Costco quietly drops popular product, saddens fans Costco also strives to offer members the lowest prices possible. To that end, the company is very particular about what it puts on its shelves. If Costco can't source an item at a price it's happy with, the company will either pass or create its own low-cost version under the Kirkland label. Costco's free samples are another example of going above and beyond for customers. Granted, part of the goal is to tempt customers to buy more products by letting them try things for free. But it's still a nice perk you don't tend to see at other stores. One of the biggest benefits of joining Costco is getting to save money on gas. Costco is known for having some of the best gas prices in town. And Costco's gas is not only affordable, but also high in quality. Related: Costco brings back food court favorite, but members aren't happy The Kirkland Signature Gasoline sold at Costco fuel stations has the TOP TIER designation. This means it's formulated to keep engines clean and lead to better performance. Earlier this year, Costco made the decision to extend its gas station hours. Now, most Costco fuel stations are open from: 6 a.m to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sundays These hours go well beyond normal warehouse club hours so that members can fill up their cars early in the day or later at night. Not surprisingly, during the company's most recent earnings call, Costco reported that members started buying more gas once fuel stations began opening earlier and closing later. While Costco has a clear plan in place to both retain and attract members, the company is constantly reevaluating its strategy. And during the company's most recent earnings call, CEO Ron Vachris said that given the great results that came from extending gas station hours, the management team would consider expanding warehouse club hours overall. "We continue to look at the hours as well," he said. Vachris and other Costco executives know that now more than ever, consumers need access to savings at every turn. Related: Costco makes key moves to protect prices from tariffs The combination of lingering inflation and tariff threats has a lot of people on edge, and they're looking for ways to stretch their paychecks as much as possible. To that end, Costco has pledged to do what it can to shield members from tariffs. During the third quarter of the year, Vachris said that Costco "rerouted many goods sourced from countries with large tariff exposure to our non-U.S. markets." But extending warehouse club hours is another way to not only enhance the member experience, but also make it easier for members to access affordable products they need. Although Costco warehouse club stores tend to be open pretty late during the week, many locations don't open until 9:30 a.m. or 10 a.m. on weekdays. These hours may be suitable for people who are home during the day, but they're not particularly worker-friendly.

Honda Launches Snazzy 2025 CR-V Lease Offer

The Honda CR-V has been a strong contender in teh compact crossover SUV segment since 1995, whether it was competed with other long-running models like the Toyota RAV4. If you've been eyeing Honda's long-running model for a while, it might be time to lock in your purchase as the Japanese automaker is boasting some snazzy-looking lease offers. If you want to get your hands on a CR-V, you can get the base-level 2025 CR-V AWD LX for $349/month for 36 months with $4,199 due at signing and a 10,000-mile/year limit. Stepping up to the CR-V 2WD EX will cost you $359/month for 36 months with $3,899 due at signing and the same mileage limit. If a hybrid is more your style, you can hop into a CR-V 2WD Sport Hybrid for $369/month for 36 months with $4,199 due at signing or a CR-V AWD Sport Hybrid for the same $369/month for 36 months with $4,499 due at signing. The same mileage limit applies to both. Potential lessees who want to save money on the upfront costs can pay $0 at signing, with some adjustments to the monthly payment. We have estimated the monthly payments by spreading the amount at signing over the lease's term. For the base-level 2025 CR-V AWD LX, buyers would pay an estimated $116 more per month for a total monthly payment of ~$465. The CR-V 2WD EX with a $0 down payment would bring an extra ~$108 per month for a total monthly payment of ~$467. On the hybrid side, the CR-V 2WD Sport Hybrid would net the same extra payment of ~$116 for a total monthly payment of ~$485, whereas the CR-V AWD Sport Hybrid would cost an extra ~$124 for a total monthly payment of ~$493. These deals seem to be nationwide, so they shouldn't change based on where you live. That said, lease offers may still vary based on location and specific vehicle configuration (trim level, options, etc.) and are subject to credit approval. Advertised payments typically exclude taxes, title, registration, and other potential fees. To take advantage of this offer or to get a precise quote based on your needs (including an official $0 down option), visit the official Honda website here. The sixth-generation CR-V is offered in a number of different trim levels, including LX, EX, Sport Hybrid, EX-L, Sport-L Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid. Both FWD and AWD configurations are available. Depending on whether you choose an internal combustion or hybrid CR-V, you get either a 1.5 L turbocharged I4 or a hybrid 2.0 L I4 engine. Power figures range from 145 hp and 138 lb-ft of troque in the hybrid variants to 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque in the ICE ones. The exterior and cabin retain a relatively modern, but modest, appearance, with a 10.2-inch digital cluster, a 9-inch infotainment screen, Bose Premium sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and leather-trimmed seating among other amenities. Up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo space is available, making the CR-V as useful for errands as it is for those packed Costco grocery runs. Those looking for a more off-roady experience can opt for the CR-V TrailSport, which we covered in more detail here. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
