What happens when something you purchase is recalled? Is it voluntary or mandatory? And what does it mean for you?
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.
Which Igloo coolers were recalled?
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.

Is Our Yearlong 2025 Mazda CX-70 Actually Luxurious?
Mazda set its sights on evolving into a 'traditional mainstream premium' brand about a decade ago, aiming to carve out space as an alternative to non-German luxury makes like Lexus and Acura. Fast-forward to today, and we've seen that ambition come to life with the introduction of the CX-70 and the brand's new flagship, the CX-90. These SUVs clearly raise the bar for Mazda, delivering cabins that feel a step above the rest of the lineup, with sleek designs, thoughtful tech, and a more upscale experience overall. But the big question remains: Do they truly measure up to Japan's established luxury contenders? 0:00 / 0:00 After more than six months behind the wheel of our yearlong review 2025 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium (plus 14 months in our previous CX-90 PHEV), we appreciate the brand's push upmarket—but it doesn't quite feel like we're driving a true luxury SUV. Sure, the premium interior and sleek styling have turned heads; friends and family have even asked, 'Wait, this is a Mazda?' But luxury is more than skin deep. It's not just about large screens and upscale materials, it's the way a vehicle drives, the refinement in its ride, and the overall sense of effortlessness that separates premium from mainstream. And in those areas, the CX-70 still has room to grow. Where the CX-70 Feels Premium Our long-term CX-70 is a near-loaded trim, powered by the robust 340-hp inline-six turbo engine. But it's inside the cabin where this SUV truly stands out. The dashboard is wrapped in leather, giving the interior a refined touch, while twin 12.3-inch displays—one for the infotainment system and the other for the digital gauge cluster—add a modern, high-tech feel. Our CX-70's Bose premium audio system is, well, premium, too. Altogether, these elements work in harmony to elevate the cabin experience and give the CX-70 a genuine sense of occasion. Mazda also fits the CX-70 with a panoramic moonroof, three-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, plush Nappa leather upholstery, and second-row sunshades—all thoughtful touches that add comfort for everyone on board. A few years ago, it would've been hard to imagine seeing features like these in a Mazda, but the brand's upmarket push is unmistakable. And we're glad to see it, especially when you factor in pricing. Our loaded CX-70 Turbo S Premium AWD rings in at $56,120, a few thousand bucks more than the starting prices of the 2026 Acura MDX and 2025 Lexus RX. Yet, the Mazda offers more horsepower and standard all-wheel drive, making it a strong value play in this segment. Where the CX-70 Lags As much as we appreciate the breadth of features our CX-70 offers at its competitive price, true luxury goes beyond the spec sheet. The driving experience matters—and matters a lot in this segment. The CX-70's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six has delivered some solid moments. It feels punchy, with minimal turbo lag, and the power is well matched to a vehicle of this size. With 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, merging onto the highway is effortless. But it's not all smooth sailing. We've encountered noticeable hiccups from our Mazda's eight-speed automatic transmission and an unpolished stop/start system that detracts from the premium experience. As MotorTrend Buyer's Guide director Zach Gale put it, 'Driving smoothly at low speeds shouldn't be so difficult.' We couldn't agree more. At speeds under 30 mph, the CX-70's transmission feels confused, hunting for the right gear and creating a noticeably unrefined experience. When it finally decides to shift, the changes can be abrupt and jarring—enough to cause head toss in the cabin and break the sense of composure. 'I see this as a real issue that could discourage a CX-70 owner from getting another one when a lease is up,' Gale added. And honestly, we've found ourselves wondering how this transmission setup cleared Mazda's own testing. We've also experienced significant vibrations in the cabin when the start/stop system shuts off or restarts the engine. While the system is designed to let the CX-70 coast with the engine off under the right conditions, its behavior is inconsistent—like disengaging on the freeway while maintaining a steady speed. When that happens, the CX-70 begins to lose momentum, prompting us to press the throttle harder. That, in turn, triggers a jarring chain reaction: The engine restarts, the transmission downshifts abruptly, and only then does the vehicle regain speed. These are two key areas where the CX-70 needs improvement if Mazda wants to truly compete with non-German premium brands. Winning over Acura and Lexus customers will require more than just attractive styling and strong value—it demands a smoother, more polished powertrain than Mazda currently offers. And let's be clear: Mazda isn't a newcomer trying to find its footing. This is an automaker with a rich history of building engaging performance-oriented vehicles. The CX-70 doesn't live up to that legacy yet—but we believe it can. And if it does, it'll be far better positioned to stand with established luxury rivals. Last year, we spent time with a long-term 2024 Mazda CX-90 equipped with the plug-in hybrid powertrain—and we ran into multiple issues with its eight-speed transmission. It frequently shuddered, hesitated, and made abrupt shifts that disrupted the driving experience. On top of that, we found the steering overly heavy and the lane keeping assist system somewhat intrusive. Bottom Line Mazda is on the right track with its positioning of the CX-70 as a premium SUV, but the company still needs to sharpen the ride and powertrain experience. Sure, the cabin's clean design and the array of features make a strong first impression, but true luxury means more than just ticking boxes on an options list. The transmission quirks and stop/start system issues we've encountered hold the CX-70 back from delivering a fully refined experience. Ultimately, we'd enjoy the ride more in a Lexus or Acura—even if that meant paying a bit extra. More On Our Long-Term Mazda CX-70:
