Igloo recalling 1M+ coolers after fingertip amputations

(NEXSTAR) — Igloo is recalling over 1 million of its 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers after the company says it received 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures and slashes.

According to the recall, the cooler’s tow handle can pinch user fingertips, posing hazards of tip amputation and/or cuts. Customers are advised to stop using the coolers immediately.

The recall only involves cooler models manufactured before January 2024.

How to identify the recalled coolers:

  • Manufacture date (before January 2024) can be found imprinted on the bottom of the cooler in a circular pattern. Customers should find an arrow pointing to the manufacture month and the last two digits of the manufacture year
  • Recalled coolers have a tow handle
  • “IGLOO” is printed on the side of the coolers
  • Came in a variety of colors

To find all recalled model numbers, model descriptions and date codes, visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The affected Igloo coolers were sold at Costco, Target, Academy Sports + Outdoors, and other retailers nationwide. The coolers were also sold online at Igloo’s website and Amazon.
