Stanley recalls millions of drink lids after customers report burn injuries
Stanley 1913
- Stanley is offering free replacement lids in a recall affecting 2.6 million insulated travel mugs.
- The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said Stanley has received reports of 38 burn injuries worldwide.
- The recall covers Switchback and Trigger Action models, not the popular Quencher series of mugs.
Insulated cup maker Stanley has issued a recall affecting approximately 2.6 million Switchback and Trigger Action models worldwide.
"We ask that all customers in possession of either product immediately stop use and reach out to Stanley 1913 for a free replacement lid," the company said.
Stanley said the lid threads of the cups have been found to shrink after being exposed to heat and torque, which can lead the lid to detach during use. If the mug contains hot liquid, the defect can pose a burn hazard.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said Stanley has received 91 reports of defected products worldwide, which have resulted in 38 burn injuries. Two of those injuries occurred in the US.
The recall does not cover the popular Quencher series of mugs.
Owners of Stanley travel mugs can check their product identification number at the bottom of the product to see if it's impacted by the recall.
Customers can check their product's identification number, found on the bottom of the mug, in an online portal where they can register for a free replacement lid.
The CPSC says the products were sold by Amazon, Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods, Target and other stores between June 2016 and December of this year and cost between $20 and $50.
