The popular stainless steel drinkware manufacturer Stanley has recalled over 2.6 million travel mugs that were sold in the US because of a potential fire hazard from defective lids. The Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs, which were available for purchase nationwide between June 2016 and December 2024, are recalled.
Reason for the Recall
Following concerns that the mugs’ screw-on caps’ threads may shrink under heat and torque, perhaps leading to the lids abruptly detaching, the recall was started. This flaw makes it more likely that hot liquids will spill, increasing the possibility of burns.
Stanley has received 91 incident reports globally, including 16 occurrences in the United States, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Of them, 38 resulted in burns, 11 of which needed medical care.
To prevent additional risk, customers are advised to cease using the impacted mugs right away.
Identifying Recalled Products
All 12, 16, and 20-ounce Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel travel mugs are subject to the recall. The Stanley logo is displayed on the front and back of these mugs.
