Igloo Products has recalled more than a million rolling coolers after receiving 12 reports of fingertip injuries, including amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations.

Igloo issued the recall because the tow handle can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.

The recalled 90-quart Flip & Tow rolling coolers came in multiple colors and were sold between 2018 and 2023 at retailers nationwide, including Costco, Target, Academy, Dick’s, and Amazon.

The affected coolers can be identified by their manufacture date, which is printed “on the bottom of the cooler in a circular pattern with an arrow pointing to the month of manufacture and the last two digits of the year of manufacture inside the circle,” per the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

A full list of affected model numbers can be found on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website.

If you have one of the recalled coolers, you should stop using it immediately and contact Igloo for a replacement handle.
