Recall of Igloo coolers with risk of amputating fingertips expanded: See list of impacted items
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 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@ 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.
