The 34-page Igloo lawsuit was filed after the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of nearly 1.1 million Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow rolling coolers manufactured prior to January 2024.

The class action suit relays that the products—which are sold at Costco, Target, Academy, Dick’s Sporting Goods and other nationwide retailers, as well as on Amazon.com and IglooCoolers.com—were recalled because the tow handle can pinch users’ fingertips against the cooler, posing an amputation or crushing hazard. As of the date of the recall announcement, 12 injuries had been reported, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures and lacerations, the CPSC says.

According to the CPSC’s February 13 announcement, the recalled products were sold in multiple body and lid color combinations and include the following model numbers: 34143, 27019, 34202, 34241, 34389, 34424, 34488, 34506, 34527, 34547, 34553, 34577, 34578, 34591, 34608, 34619, 34624, 34689, 34724, 34734, 34750, 34752, 34775, 34776, 34789, 34799, 34800, 34818, 34841, 34844, 34869, 34993, 34999, 35003, 35019, 35044, 35045, 35052, 35053, 35054, 35065, 49870, 49928, 49937, 49938 and 50680.

The case alleges Igloo failed to warn consumers that its coolers were plagued by a “dangerous defect” and posed a safety risk. Nowhere on the packaging or in marketing materials is it disclosed that the recalled products present a fingertip amputation or crushing hazard, the complaint claims.

The filing contends that no reasonable consumer would have purchased the “worthless and dangerous” coolers had they known the products were unsafe for their intended purpose.

The lawsuit looks to represent anyone in the United States who purchased a recalled Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow rolling cooler manufactured prior to January 2024.
