Over a million Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow rolling coolers have been recalled due to potential fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.

The recall put out by Igloo and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that the recall specifically cites coolers that were manufactured between 2019 and 2023. Anything made after 2024 is not affected by this recall.

In the United States, 1,060,000 coolers have been recalled, with an additional 47,000 in Canada and 23,000 in Mexico.

The issue with the coolers stems from the tow handle, which can apparently pinch fingertips against the cooler, potentially amputating the fingertip or crushing it. Igloo confirmed to the CPSC that it had received at least 12 reports of injuries, including amputations, bone fractures and lacerations.

In all, about 56 models of Flip & Tow coolers were affected by this recall. Most of them are Latitude 90 Roller coolers that were manufactured between 2018 and 2023.

How to find out when your cooler was made

Many products, including Igloo coolers, have a manufacturing stamp, usually on the bottom of the product.

The Flip & Two stamps can be imprinted on the cooler's bottom. Look for a circular diagram. In that circle, you should see an arrow pointing to the month, which is usually represented by a number.

You should also see a larger pair of numbers indicating the year.

If you have a Flip & Tow cooler that was made between August 2018 and December 2023, you should immediately stop using the cooler.

Contacting Igloo for replacements

Igloo is offering free replacements of the handle and can be contacted via telephone at 888-943-5182 from 8 a.m. Eastern to 5 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday.
