Global News
Igloo coolers are being recalled in Canada and the U.S. after reports of severe injuries, including fingertip amputations, caused by a faulty tow handle that can pinch fingers.
One million Igloo coolers are being recalled in Canada and the United States after reports of severe injuries, including fingertip amputations, caused by a faulty tow handle that can pinch fingers.
While no injuries have been reported in Canada, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported 12 cases, including amputations, bone fractures and lacerations.
Health Canada emphasized that even without Canadian injury reports, the hazard remains significant and consumers should take action now.
“The tow handle of the coolers can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards,” Health Canada warned in its recall notice posted on Thursday.
This recall affects Igloo 90 Qt Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers made before January 2024.
You can find the date code on the bottom of the cooler; it’s stamped in a circular pattern, with an arrow pointing to the month and the last two digits of the year it was manufactured.
These coolers feature a tow handle and have the “IGLOO” logo on the side.
They were sold in a variety of body and lid colour combinations.
