Popular cooler and mug company Igloo recalled more than one million rolling coolers over concerns that they could cause fingertip amputation.
The recall involves 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a news release on Thursday.
Igloo Products Corp. said in a notice on its website that it was voluntarily recalling the coolers in cooperation with CPSC.
“The tow handle can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards,” CPSC’s news release states.
There have been a dozen reports of people injuring their fingertips, including amputations, lacerations and bone fractures, the commission said.
The affected coolers were manufactured before January 2024. The manufacture date is printed on the bottom of the cooler in a circular pattern with an arrow pointing to the month. The last two digits of the year are printed inside the circle.
The coolers, which cost between $80 and $140, come in several body and lid color combinations. They were sold between January 2019 and January 2025 at retailers including Target, Costco, and Dick’s Sporting Goods. They were sold online at Igloocoolers.com and Amazon.
People who have purchased the cooler are told to immediately stop using them and contact Igloo for a free replacement handle.
