In a disturbing step, Igloo has now expanded its recall to nearly 1.2 million coolers due to fingertip amputation hazards, as reported by numerous individuals.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) highlights that the product’s tow handle can pinch and crush fingertips, causing serious injuries.
The recall specifically targets the Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers.
Initially, only a smaller number of units were recalled, but further reports of injury and amputations have driven this expansion.
Following the initial recall in February, Igloo has cataloged 78 injury reports, including 26 severe cases.
The core issue is tied to the tow handle, responsible for the hazardous pinching mechanism.
This handle has affected thousands, casting a shadow on a popular product that consumers assumed was safe.
With the coolers priced between $80 and $140, many unsuspecting buyers could face this unforeseen risk.
“The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said you should immediately stop using a recalled item,” WEAU reports.
These compromised units have been in circulation since January 2019, distributed through major retailers such as Costco, Dick’s, Target, and online via Amazon.
Given the broad appeal and accessibility, the potential for further injuries amplifies.
Consumers are urged to consult Igloo’s online recall portal for model identification and replacement processes.
Igloo advises owners to immediately halt use of the affected coolers and contact the company for a replacement tow handle.
Ensuring customer safety should remain a foremost priority, especially in light of such severe consequences.
Igloo customer service is available at 888-943-5182 for assistance during business hours.
This recall extends to all color variants of the referred coolers, with additional models now included.
Owners from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico should heed the warnings and consult the detailed recall information available online.
