What You Need to Know About the Igloo Cooler Recall
On February 13, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a nationwide recall of Igloo’s 90-Quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers due to their dangerous design. The tow handle on these coolers can pinch users’ fingertips, posing a crushing and amputation hazard.
Key Details About the Recall:
- Products Affected: Igloo 90-Quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers
- Injury Reports: 12 known cases, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures, and deep cuts

- Manufacturing Dates: Coolers made before January 2024 are included in the recall
- Price Range: Sold for $80-$140 between January 2019 – January 2025
If you own one of these coolers but have not been injured by it, stop using it immediately and contact Igloo for a free replacement handle. On the other hand, if you were injured by one of these coolers, contact Fleming, Nolen & Jez for a free consultation. You may be entitled to compensation.
How These Injuries Happen & The Legal Implications
The tow handle on these coolers creates an unguarded pinch point, which has led to severe injuries for unsuspecting users. When the handle is pulled, it can trap and crush fingers, leading to permanent damage such as amputations and fractures.
Manufacturers have a legal duty to design safe products and to warn consumers of potential dangers. In this case, Igloo failed to prevent these hazards, and now innocent consumers are suffering serious injuries. Those affected may have grounds for a product liability claim against the company.
At Fleming, Nolen & Jez, we have experience handling product liability cases involving defective designs. Attorney Barrett Beck has successfully represented clients injured by unsafe products, including a recent case where he secured a $340,000 settlement for a client who suffered a fingertip amputation due to a defective bed frame. Similar to that case, Igloo’s lack of proper safety measures has led to severe, preventable injuries.
