Over a Million Igloo Coolers Pulled from Market Due to Potential Risk of Amputation and Crushing Injuries
Springtime Fun: Don't Forget to Check Your Cooler
Preparing for a beach day or park picnic on a budget? Stock up on cold drinks and picnic-ready sandwiches, but before you head out, double-check your cooler brand, model, and manufacture date. Heed this advice especially if you currently own an Igloo cooler, as a recent recall has been issued due to safety concerns.
On February 13, Igloo announced a massive recall of over a million 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers, based on reports of fingertip amputation and crushing hazards. These hazards are associated with the tow handle on these coolers, which can pinch consumers' fingertips against the cooler. In total, this recall affects coolers manufactured before January 2024, with the date of manufacture clearly marked on the bottom of the cooler[2][3].
If you own one of the affected coolers, it's crucial to stop using it immediately and contact Igloo for a free replacement handle. The recall involves popular models like the Latitude 90 Roller, Powerade, Maxcold 90 Roller, and more[1][4]. Head to Igloo's official website, where you'll find the full list of affected models, their model/SKU numbers, and date codes[1][4].
Keep in mind that consumers can reach out to Igloo by phone at 888-943-5182 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email [email protected], or submit a request online at www.igloo90qtrecall.expertinquiry.com.
