What you bought was just remembered. What does that mean?
What happens if the purchase is recalled? Is it voluntary or is it necessary? And what does that mean to you?
According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Igloo is recalling an additional 130,000 rolling coolers sold at Costco, Target and Dick sports goods.
Igloo Products Corp. in Katie, Texas, reminded me of about 1,060,000 coolers on February 13th with the same pinching fingertip problem. Also, recall: Approximately 47,000 coolers in Canada and 23,000 in Mexico.
Igloo updated its recall to include approximately 130,000 Igloo 90 Quart Flip and Tow Rolling Coolers manufactured by January 2024. Since the February recall, cooler manufacturers have received reports of 78 fingertip damage, including 26, including 26, including fractures or tears of CPSCs.
Igloo also recalled another 20,000 coolers in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico, the CPSC said.
The coolers were sold nationwide nationwide on Costco, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Academy and other stores, as well as on Amazon.com, Igloocoolers.com and other websites from January 2019 to January 2025.

Which igloo coolers were recalled?
To see if there are any of the more than 1 million recalled coolers, look for the production date engraved at the bottom of the cooler, with the arrow pointing to the last two digits of the year of manufacture in the month and circle of manufacture.
The cooler has a model number on the label attached to the bottom of the cooler. The coolers were sold in multiple body and lid color combinations, all with tow handles and “igloos” printed sideways.
