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.

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.

This Major Costco Change Has Everyone Convinced It Will Make Shopping 'Infinitely Worse'
This Major Costco Change Has Everyone Convinced It Will Make Shopping 'Infinitely Worse' originally appeared on Parade. A major change is coming to Costco in the coming days and it has a number of workers at the warehouse on edge. If you recall, earlier this month it was revealed that Costco would begin opening core location warehouses at 9 a.m. for executive members. It was also announced that all U.S. warehouses will stay open until 7 p.m. for all members on in a Reddit post shared this week, Costco workers are lashing out at the latest change, specifically the 9 a.m. opening time."Yall ready for 9am openings?" the original poster asked. "Mainly for the employees. How's your warehouse preparing for 9am openings every day. I hear it's starting June 30th. We struggle to get open on 945, I can imagine it's going to be fun every morning in merchandising. I'm assuming there will be no adjustments to schedules or depot times. Just get it done in less time." Their question was met with nearly 400 comments from workers eager to sound off on the change. One person admitted that the adjustment in hours has the potential to make things "infinitely worse" for them. "I'm in the meat department at Costco. It sucks. I already get there at 5am. Now it will be 4am... What sucks is we also will now open an hour later- 2 hours may not sound like a lot be we already struggle to get certain parts of the day covered and certain things done between opening an night crew. This 2 hour change will make it infinitely worse," they wrote. Plenty of other workers are also struggling to see how the change in hours will benefit them. "As an employee who drives the cooler 4 am to 10 every morning, and front end after, and has a second job to make ends meet and only sleeps 4-5 hours a night, no. No im not," read one comment on Reddit. "I hate it. I work in optical and there is no reason we have to be there because nothing is gunna happen. It's for executive members only. So now we are gunna have angry non-executive members too," another user chimed in. Do you think Costco's new hours will be here to stay?This Major Costco Change Has Everyone Convinced It Will Make Shopping 'Infinitely Worse' first appeared on Parade on Jun 11, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Planners Fear Immigration Crackdowns Will Make Hotel Labor Shortages Worse: Exclusive Survey
The hospitality industry has struggled with a labor shortage since the Covid pandemic. Now, immigration enforcement and an anti-immigrant sentiment are adding a new layer of complexity. An exclusive Skift Meetings survey of U.S. planners shows that they expect to grapple with the effects of Trump-era immigration policies on their events, with growing concern about hotel staffing across the board. More than two-thirds of respondents (72%) said they expect hotel staffing to be affected in 2025–2026 because of immigration policies. Only 13% foresaw no impact. 'Hotel staffing never fully bounced back after the pandemic. We're still experiencing some gaps in service in certain markets and at certain properties,' said Kyle Jordan, director of meetings at the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS). Staffing issues are being felt at more than hotels. 'Challenges extend to other key partners like AV providers and vendors that support our meetings,' said Jordan. 'While it's hard to predict the full impact, I would expect that deportation activity could further strain staffing in some destinations.' Concerns stem not just from general staffing shortages but also the effect of revived immigration enforcement policies. 'The main issue is that for many workers in hotels, while they may be legal immigrants, the feeling toward immigrants in general has turned toxic,' said Mark Phillips, CEO of LamontCo. 'No one wants to live and work in such an environment or put families through it, so over time we will see less available even legal immigrant workforces. It already appears to be happening in several cities.' ICE Raids and Protests Exacerbate Immigration Issues In Los Angeles, several days of protests followed large-scale immigration raids by ICE. Protests have spread to other U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Chicago, Washington, D.C, and New York City. a'The hospitality industry relies heavily on immigrant labor especially in back-of-house roles like housekeeping, food and beverage service, and maintenance. Stricter immigration enforcement, increased deportations, and general anti-immigration rhetoric have created fear and uncertainty among these workers, not to mention ICE raids, and I-9 audits. This leads some to leave the industry or self-deport, reducing the labor pool, making it even harder for hotels to fill critical positions,' said Robert Kraus, founder of Small Conferences. Kraus added that there are concerns about the future of the H-2B visa program and similar initiatives. 'There's also a worry that H-2B visas and other temporary worker programs will be curtailed plus general apprehension on potential workers to risk coming to the U.S. just to be told they can't enter or later be sent home only after a short amount of time. This could easily limit the number of foreign workers applying, which is critical for meeting seasonal demands of resorts and other hospitality businesses.' Labor shortages have already disrupted event logistics.'In several cases, my groups suffered through multi-hour lunch services because the hotel restaurant kitchen could not keep up with demand,' he said. Legal Compliance Doesn't Eliminate Anxiety Michael Dominguez, president and CEO of ALHI, argues that deportation is not necessarily a direct impact to hotel staffing. 'It has been required by law for any employee to complete an I-9 form, which verifies legal status and requires documentation,' said Dominguez. 'Any company or hotel not doing that is in violation of Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1986. Everyone working in a hotel needs documentation, or they are breaking the law.' Still, legal status does not erase worker anxiety, said Melanie Nathan, human rights advocate and executive director of the African Human Rights Coalition. 'I know people who are perfectly legal and who have filled in those I-9's who are too scared to go to work. They are standing back to try and ride out what they feel like is a storm. Some fear they might get picked up in workplaces where there are likely to be raids.' Guest Services and Sales Take a Hit The staffing crunch is also affecting guest experience and hotel revenue. 'Daily housekeeping is no longer a given. There are hotels where it is now every other day or on request,' said Akshar Patel, VP of corporate strategy and development at eShow Event Management Solutions and a hospitality expert. Beyond guest services, the staffing crunch is slowing business development efforts. 'A staffing shortage on the sales side is delaying RFPs,' said Patel. Andrea Milrad Heilweil, VP of sales and marketing at The Hutton Group, agrees. 'I have found that since Covid I have to be much more proactive with follow-up. Between people furloughed, laid off, or leaving the industry altogether, RFP responses, requests for contracts, setting up site visits, and general communication have been delayed.'
