Stanley Travel Mug Burn Risk Leads to Recall of 2.6M Switchback, Trigger Action Mugs: CPSC
Officials have become aware of a growing number of Stanley travel mug burn injuries requiring medical attention.
Federal safety officials have announced a Stanley travel mug recall, warning consumers to immediately stop using certain Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel cups due to the potential for the products’ lid to detach during use, posing a burn hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Stanley travel mug recall on December 12, after receiving 91 reports of the mugs’ lids detaching during use, resulting in at least 38 burn injuries, with 11 of those cases requiring medical treatment.
CPSC officials are warning that heat exposure may cause the threads on the mugs’ lids to shrink and twist, increasing the risk of the lid detaching and leading to burn injuries.
