(NEXSTAR) — Igloo is broadening a recall initiated in February, which originally included over 1 million of its 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers, after the company reported receiving 78 cases of fingertip injuries, 26 instances of fingertip amputations, as well as cases involving bone fractures and cuts.
Currently, the company is recalling an additional 130,000 coolers in the U.S. due to the same concern. As noted in the recall expansion, the cooler’s towing handle is capable of pinching user fingertips, presenting risks of fingertip amputation and/or cuts. It is advised that customers cease using the coolers immediately.
Affected cooler models:
| Model/SKU # | Description | Date codes |
| 34692 | Latitude 90-quart roller | 07/2020-09/2021 |

| 34790 | Maxcold Latitude 90-quart roller | 10/2021-02/2023 |
The recall only involves cooler models manufactured before January 2024.
How to identify the recalled coolers:
- Manufacture date (before January 2024) can be found imprinted on the bottom of the cooler in a circular pattern. Customers should find an arrow pointing to the manufacture month and the last two digits of the manufacture year
- Recalled coolers have a tow handle
- “IGLOO” is printed on the side of the coolers
- Came in a variety of colors
