Fingertip amputations prompt expanded Igloo cooler recall

  • On May 28, 2025, Igloo widened its recall to cover over 1.1 million large-capacity rolling coolers from the Flip and Tow series that were sold across the country.
  • The expansion follows a February 2025 recall of about 1,060,000 coolers after reports showed side handles could pinch fingers and cause injuries.
  • The updated recall adds 130,000 units across three additional models dated between July 2020 and February 2023, sold at major retailers and online.
  • Igloo received 78 injury reports, including 26 fingertip amputations, fractures, and lacerations, with the CPSC warning that handles pose fingertip amputation risks.
  • Consumers should discontinue use of the affected coolers and may reach out to Igloo to obtain a complimentary replacement handle to reduce the risk of injury.
