Igloo Expands Recall to 1.2M Coolers After 26 Further Fingertip Amputations, Bone Fractures, Lacerations Reported
Igloo is expanding a recall of its coolers after a significant number of further injuries emerged.
Following an initial recall over unsettling reports of fingertip amputations related to its coolers, Igloo has now expanded that recall to 1.2 million total units following news that 26 further fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations have been tied to its products, as TODAY reported.
On May 8, Igloo indicated that the recall would now include an additional 130,000 coolers sold stateside, as well as 20,000 sold in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico. The model in question, the 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Cooler, is said to be responsible for injuries “caused by the tow handle pinching people’s fingers against the cooler,” as the outlet’s Scott Stump detailed.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) noted that the coolers affected by the recall were manufactured in a variety of different colors and that both the Latitude and Maxcold Latitude product lines (with SKU or model numbers of 34692, 34785, and 34790) were included. The model number is located on a label affixed to the bottom of the product.
