Here’s what Fox Business reported:

Igloo is recalling more than 1 million large rolling coolers in the U.S. because of a safety risk they could pose to consumers.

The recalled 90-quart Igloo Flip & Tow rolling coolers carry possible “fingertip amputation and crushing hazards” because their handles “can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler,” a recall notice published Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said.

In the notice, Igloo advised customers against using the affected coolers any further until they can get a new handle from the company.

The recalled Igloo coolers were “sold in multiple body and lid color combinations,” according to the CSPC. The company produced all of them before January of last year.

Igloo included all the model numbers and date codes for the affected Flip & Tow Coolers in the CPSC recall notice. Both the manufacturing year and the model number are on the bottom of the coolers, with the former imprinted on the cooler itself and the latter appearing on a label, it said.

Per The New York Post:

Igloo is recalling more than 1 million of its coolers sold across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada due to a handle hazard that has resulted in a handful of fingertip injuries, including some amputations.

The now-recalled “Igloo 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers” have a tow handle that can pinch users’ fingertips against the product — posing potential amputation and other crushing risks, according to a Thursday recall notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Igloo has received 12 injury reports in the U.S., the CPSC notes, which include fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and lacerations.
