Affected Models and Retailers
The recall applies to the Igloo 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers, which were sold in various body and lid color combinations under model names like LATITUDE and MAXCOLD.
These coolers ranged in price from $80 to $140, but the potential medical costs from injuries could be much higher.

The recalled coolers have "IGLOO" printed on the side and were sold between January 2019 and January 2025. If you own one of these coolers, check the bottom for a label listing the model number and manufactured date.
