More than 1 million Igloo rolling coolers sold nationwide by retailers including Amazon, Costco and Target are being recalled after a dozen reports of fingertip injuries, including amputations, according to a notice posted Thursday by a federal regulator.
The tow handle on the Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow rolling coolers can pinch users' fingertips, posing amputation and crushing hazards, stated the recall announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The manufacturer of the coolers, Katy, Texas-based Igloo Products Corp., has received 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including amputations, bone fractures and lacerations, the recall notice relayed.
The recalled coolers sold from January 2019 through January 2025 for between $80 and $140 at stores and online, including Academy, Amazon, Dick's, Costco and by Igloo Products.
The recalled coolers have a tow handle with "IGLOO" printed on the side, and came in multiple body and lid color combinations. Each have one of nearly 50 model numbers on labels affixed to the bottom of the products. Check here for a list.
People with the recalled coolers should stop using them and contact the company for a free replacement handle.

Musk says Tesla's robotaxi service to 'tentatively' launch in Austin on June 22
AUSTIN, Texas — Elon Musk says Tesla is 'tentatively' set to begin providing robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on June 22. In a post on his X social media platform, Musk said the date could change because Tesla is 'being super paranoid about safety.' Investors, Wall Street analysts and Tesla enthusiasts have been anticipating the rollout of the driverless cabs since Musk said earlier this year that the service would launch in Austin sometime in June.

Musk says Tesla's robotaxi service to 'tentatively' launch in Austin on June 22
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Elon Musk says Tesla is 'tentatively' set to begin providing robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on June 22. In a post on his X social media platform, Musk said the date could change because Tesla is 'being super paranoid about safety.' Investors, Wall Street analysts and Tesla enthusiasts have been anticipating the rollout of the driverless cabs since Musk said earlier this year that the service would launch in Austin sometime in June. Last month, Musk told CNBC that the taxis will be remotely monitored at first and 'geofenced' to certain areas of the city deemed the safest to navigate. He said he expected to initially run 10 or so taxis, increase that number rapidly and start offering the service in Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco and other cities. Musk has been promising fully autonomous, self-driving vehicles 'next year' for a decade, but the pressure is on now as Tesla actually begins to operate a self-driving taxi service. Sales of Tesla's electric vehicles have sagged due to increased competition, the retooling of its most popular car, the Model Y, and the fallout from Musk's turn to politics. The Austin rollout also comes after Musk had a public blowup with President Donald Trump over the administration's tax bill. Some analysts have expressed concern that Trump could retaliate by encouraging federal safety regulators to to step in at any sign of trouble for the robotaxis.
