Summary at a Glance

Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers have been recalled because the “tow handle can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.”.

“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.

The recall comes after Igloo received 12 “reports of fingertip injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations,” according to the press release.

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.

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.”.
