Igloo recalls over 1 million coolers due to finger amputation risk
Igloo is recalling more than one million of its 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers following reports that a feature has already led to serious injuries, including fingertip amputations and bone fractures.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the cooler's tow handle can pinch fingertips against the product's body, causing serious harm. Twelve injury reports have been confirmed so far.
The recall, issued on Feb 13, applies to Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow coolers that were purchased at major retailers such as Costco, Target, Dick's Sporting Goods and Amazon between January 2019 and January 2025 and priced between $80 to $140. All the items were manufactured before January 2024.
Approximately 1,060,000 of these coolers were sold in the U.S., plus 47,000 in Canada and 23,000 in Mexico.
To verify if a product was included in the recall, check the bottom of the cooler where the date of manufacture is imprinted in a circular pattern with an arrow pointing to the month and last two digits of the year. All items included in Igloo's current recall were manufactured before January 2024. The 'IGLOO' is printed on the side of the coolers that were produced in various body and lid color combinations
All Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow coolers with a January 2024 or prior manufacture date are part of the recall. Anyone who has purchased one of the recalled products should immediately stop using it and contact Igloo for a free handle replacement, according to CPSC.
