🥤Stanley Recalls 2.6M Travel Mugs Due to Burn Hazard from Dtanley recall detaching Lids
Stanley 1913 is voluntarily recalling the Switchback [12 oz and 16 oz] and Trigger Action [12 oz, 16 oz and 20 oz] Travel Mugs in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
Stanley has initiated a massive recall of approximately 2.6 million stainless steel travel mugs following multiple reports of burn injuries caused by detaching lids. The recall, announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on December 12, affects all Switchback and Trigger Action travel mug models sold in the United States.
The recall stems from a critical design flaw where the mugs' lid threads can shrink when exposed to heat and torque. This defect can cause the lid to unexpectedly detach during use, creating a serious burn hazard for consumers handling hot beverages.
Incident Reports
91 total reports worldwide of lid detachment
38 burn injuries reported globally
11 cases requiring medical attention
16 incidents reported in the United States
2 burn injuries specifically in the U.S. market
Affected Products
The recall encompasses Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel travel mugs sold through various retail channels:
Amazon.com
Walmart
Dick's Sporting Goods
Target
Other nationwide retailers and online platforms
Sale Period: June 2016 - December 2024
Price Range: $20-$50 (depending on model)
Consumer Action Required
Stanley is advising all owners of affected travel mugs to:
Immediately discontinue use of the products
Contact Stanley directly for a free replacement lid
Shipping costs for replacement lids will be covered by the company
This recall follows a recent controversy surrounding Stanley products. In February, Pacific Market International, the manufacturer, faced two class action lawsuits after acknowledging the use of lead in Stanley Cups' vacuum seal component.
While Stanley is not currently facing legal action related to this specific recall, recalls of this magnitude often precedes potential lawsuit filings. Consumers who have purchased these mugs should prioritize their safety and take advantage of the replacement program.
