There were 12 reports of fingertip injuries linked to the Igloo product. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced in a news release on Thursday that popular cooler company, Igloo, was issuing a voluntary recall. 1,060,000 of their 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers have been recalled because the “tow handle can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.”.
The recall comes after Igloo received 12 “reports of fingertip injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations,” according to the press release. CPSC noted that the recalled products were sold at Costco, Target, Academy, Dick’s, and other stores nationwide. It was sold online by Amazon, on Igloo’s website, and other websites from January 2019 through January 2025. The coolers cost anywhere between $80 and $140.
The recall only involves 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers that were manufactured before January 2024. Each cooler has the date of manufacture imprinted on the bottom of it “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.”. All the recalled products have a tow handle, with the word “IGLOO” on the side. All of the coolers “were sold in multiple body and lid color combinations.”.
CPSC is urging customers who have those coolers to stop using them immediately and to contact Igloor for a free replacement handle. “Vornado is voluntarily recalling certain VH2 Whole Room Heater units because the power cord can partially detach from the enclosure, which can lead to cord damage over time, posing electric shock and fire hazards,” the recall from CPSC read. “Please stop use immediately and follow the steps described below to obtain a replacement product.”.
