Igloo Recalls Over 1 Million Rolling Coolers After Amputation Hazard Surfaces
Igloo Products Corp. is recalling some 1.06 million of its “90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers” in the United States, along with 47,000 in Canada and 23,000 in Mexico, due to a dangerous handle design that poses a risk of fingertip amputation and other crushing injuries, The Associated Press reports.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on Thursday, citing a potential hazard where the cooler’s tow handle can pinch users’ fingertips against the body of the cooler.
According to the CPSC, Igloo has received 12 reports of injuries related to the defect in the US, including reports of fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported in Canada or Mexico.
The recalled coolers were sold at major retailers such as Costco, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Amazon between 2019 and January 2025. They retailed for between $80 and $140. The affected models, manufactured in the US prior to January 2024, are identifiable by their model number and description. They feature the “IGLOO” logo printed on the side and were sold in various colors.
Consumers who own the recalled Igloo 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers are urged to immediately stop using them. Igloo is offering a free replacement handle to address the safety concern. Customers can contact Igloo to request the replacement handle.
In a statement, Igloo emphasized its commitment to consumer safety, stating that the recall and provision of free replacement handles were initiated “with consumer safety as our top priority.” The company added that it is “constantly improving our products to meet the highest safety standards through rigorous testing and proactive steps.”
Consumers are encouraged to visit the websites of the CPSC, Health Canada, and the OECD’s global recall portal for further information about the recall and how to obtain a replacement handle.
