Cooler recall expanded over amputation and crushing hazard
Igloo has expanded a recall of its coolers due to numerous reported injuries.
In February, Igloo recalled 1,060,000 of its 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers because the 'tow handle can pinch consumers' fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.'
The recall came after 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations due to the coolers.
On May 9, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced in a press release that Igloo was recalling 130,000 more of these rolling coolers.
Since the initial recall was announced in February, Igloo has received 78 reports of fingertip injuries, 26 of which resulted in fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations.
The additional recalled coolers were sold at Costco, Target, Academy, Dick's, and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Igloocoolers.com, and other websites. They were sold from January 2019 through January 2025, and cost anywhere between $80 and $140.
The affected products were manufactured before January 2024, with the manufacturing date on the bottom of the cooler in a circular pattern. There's also an arrow on the bottom of the cooler that points at the month of manufacture and the last two digits of the year of manufacture inside the circle.
Coolers have a tow handle and the company's logo, 'IGLOO,' printed on the side. Products were also sold in many body and lid color combinations. The additional recalled coolers can be identified by one of these three SKU numbers: 34692, 34785, 34790.
You can find the initial list of recalled coolers, with the SKU number, description, and date codes here.
In addition, 20,000 coolers in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico are being recalled.
Consumers should stop using the recalled coolers immediately. They can also contact Igloo for a free replacement handle.
Many other popular products in the U.S. have been recalled in the last few months. This week, BRS Analytical Service, LLC announced an urgent recall of five eye care products, healthcare distributor AvKARE shared in a recent press release.
The recall comes after a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) audit identified violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP). CGMP regulations for drugs contain minimum requirements for the methods, facilities, and controls used in the manufacturing, processing, and packing of a drug product.
Although it's unclear what health risks may be posed, CGMP deviations could lead to 'unacceptable quality' of the recalled eyecare solutions, and it's 'not possible to rule out patient risks resulting from use of these products,' according to AvKARE.
According to the FDA, the recall was issued due to a 'lack of assurance of sterility' in these products. The recall affects more than 1.8 million cartons of eye drops.
Earlier this month, popular wellness brand Optimal Carnivore issued a voluntary recall on 1,500 bottles of their Bone & Joint Restore capsules, after they were distributed nationwide through major retailers, such as Amazon.
The capsules, which contain bone marrow and bones from cows, were recalled due to potential salmonella contamination. Salmonella infection is a common bacterial disease that can affect the intestinal tracts and occurs after drinking contaminated water, eating raw meat, poultry, eggs, or unpasteurized milk.
