12 incidents reported south of the border
If you're one of the many people who have an Igloo cooler, you may want to think twice before using it when temperatures warm up.
One million Igloo coolers are being recalled in both Canada and the U.S. after reports of severe injuries, including finger amputations caused by a fault tow handle than can pinch your finger.
No injuries have been reported in Canada but the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has reported 12 cases, including amputations, bone fractures and lacerations.
Health Canada emphasized that even without Canadian injury reports, the hazard remains significant and consumers should take action now.
The cooler in question is the 90-Quart Flip & Tow Rolling manufactured before January of 2024.
