Fingertip amputations prompt expanded Igloo cooler recall
- In May 2025, Igloo broadened its recall to include over 1.1 million rolling coolers with 90-quart capacity from the Flip and Tow series sold across the country.
- The expansion responds to reports of fingertip injuries caused by pinch points on cooler side handles that pose amputation risks.
- The recall has been broadened to cover three more models manufactured between July 2020 and February 2023, building upon the initial announcement made in February 2025.
- Igloo received 78 injury reports, including 26 fingertip amputations, fractures, or lacerations, with the CPSC advising consumers to stop using the coolers.
- Consumers experiencing issues with their coolers can request a complimentary replacement handle from Igloo, and the expanded recall highlights ongoing concerns regarding the product’s safety and liability.
