Federal safety officials are instructing consumers to immediately stop using certain Igloo Flip and Tow Rolling Coolers, due to a defect in the product’s handle, which can crush fingertips and potentially result in amputations.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Igloo cooler recall on February 13, after receiving reports of at least 12 fingertip injuries, including lacerations, bone fractures and even incidents where the fingertip was cut off.

Igloo Flip and Tow Rolling Coolers come in various color combinations, have the brand name “IGLOO” printed on the side, and feature a tow handle, which in the case of the recalled coolers, has the ability to pinch and crush users’ fingers.
