What Is the Igloo Cooler Recall About?
The recall, initially issued on February 13, 2025, was expanded on May 8, 2025, to include additional model numbers and cooler types. The hazard stems from a flaw in the tow handle design, which can snap back or collapse unexpectedly, creating a serious risk of fingertip injury or crushing.

If you have one of the recalled models:
- Stop using the cooler immediately.
- Check the model number and manufacturing date on the bottom of the unit.
- Contact Igloo through their official website to request a free replacement handle kit.
- Do not attempt to repair the handle yourself, as this may increase injury risk.
Health and Safety Risks: Why This Recall Is Urgent
The tow handle issue has already resulted in multiple injury reports, including fingertip amputations and crushing incidents. Because these coolers are large and heavy—particularly when loaded with ice, beverages, or food—the risk of injury is significantly heightened when towing.
