Cooler recall expanded over amputation and crushing hazard
Igloo has expanded a recall of its coolers due to numerous reported injuries. In February, Igloo recalled 1,060,000 of its 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers because the 'tow handle can pinch consumers' fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.' The recall came after 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations due to the coolers. On May 9, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced in a press release that Igloo was recalling 130,000 more of these rolling coolers. Since the initial recall was announced in February, Igloo has received 78 reports of fingertip injuries, 26 of which resulted in fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations. The additional recalled coolers were sold at Costco, Target, Academy, Dick's, and other stores nationwide and online at and other websites. They were sold from January 2019 through January 2025, and cost anywhere between $80 and $140. The affected products were manufactured before January 2024, with the manufacturing date on the bottom of the cooler in a circular pattern. There's also an arrow on the bottom of the cooler that points at the month of manufacture and the last two digits of the year of manufacture inside the circle. Coolers have a tow handle and the company's logo, 'IGLOO,' printed on the side. Products were also sold in many body and lid color combinations. The additional recalled coolers can be identified by one of these three SKU numbers: 34692, 34785, 34790. You can find the initial list of recalled coolers, with the SKU number, description, and date codes here. In addition, 20,000 coolers in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico are being recalled. Consumers should stop using the recalled coolers immediately. They can also contact Igloo for a free replacement handle. Many other popular products in the U.S. have been recalled in the last few months. This week, BRS Analytical Service, LLC announced an urgent recall of five eye care products, healthcare distributor AvKARE shared in a recent press release. The recall comes after a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) audit identified violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP). CGMP regulations for drugs contain minimum requirements for the methods, facilities, and controls used in the manufacturing, processing, and packing of a drug product. Although it's unclear what health risks may be posed, CGMP deviations could lead to 'unacceptable quality' of the recalled eyecare solutions, and it's 'not possible to rule out patient risks resulting from use of these products,' according to AvKARE. According to the FDA, the recall was issued due to a 'lack of assurance of sterility' in these products. The recall affects more than 1.8 million cartons of eye drops. Earlier this month, popular wellness brand Optimal Carnivore issued a voluntary recall on 1,500 bottles of their Bone & Joint Restore capsules, after they were distributed nationwide through major retailers, such as Amazon. The capsules, which contain bone marrow and bones from cows, were recalled due to potential salmonella contamination. Salmonella infection is a common bacterial disease that can affect the intestinal tracts and occurs after drinking contaminated water, eating raw meat, poultry, eggs, or unpasteurized milk.

Supplement company issues urgent recall after finding potentially deadly contamination
Popular wellness brand Optimal Carnivore has issued a voluntary recall on one of its supplements due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall includes nearly 1,500 bottles of their Bone & Joint Restore capsules, which were distributed nationwide through major retailers, such as Amazon. The capsules contain bone marrow and bones from cows, as well as cartilage, per the nutrition label. The recalled bottles have an expiration label of December 2026 and a lot number of 1224064. Each bottle contains 180 capsules. Optimal Carnivore first issued the recall in April and has since taken the product off its website. On Monday, however, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave it a 'Class 1' label, the most serious designation for products with a high risk of health hazard or death. As of now, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the affected supplements, however, the company is urging customers with the affected products not to consume the capsules due to the risk of salmonella infection. The Independent has reached out to the company for comment. Salmonella bacteria are commonly found in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals, according to the Mayo Clinic. Salmonella infection is a common bacterial disease that can affect the intestinal tracts and occurs after drinking contaminated water, eating raw meat, poultry, eggs, or unpasteurized milk. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Salmonella is the most common form of bacterial food poisoning, with symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, chills, and stomach cramps. 'In some cases, diarrhea can cause severe dehydration and requires prompt medical attention. Life-threatening complications also may develop if the infection spreads beyond the intestines,' Mayo Clinic states. 'The incubation period — the time between exposure and illness — can be 6 hours to 6 days. Often, people who have Salmonella infection think they have the stomach flu,' the clinic explains. Any individual, adult or infant, with a weakened immune system, is at higher risk of serious illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A well-known tomato brand recently issued a voluntary recall due to potential salmonella contamination. Ray & Mascari Inc. announced the recall of its four packs of Vine Ripe tomatoes on May 2. The company issued the recall after they were notified by Hanshaw & Caping Farms in Immokalee, Florida, of potential bacterial contamination. At-risk tomatoes were packaged in plastic cartons with a VINE RIPE TOMATOES label that read "Packed by Ray & Mascari Inc." The recall extended to several states, including New York, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Williams Farms Repack LLC also recalled a crop of tomatoes sold to wholesalers in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, highlighting the same bacterial risk.
