The recall encompasses all Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel travel mugs sold in the United States.
The double-walled mugs, available in multiple color options including white, black, and green, were sold in 12 oz., 16 oz., and 20 oz., sizes with a polypropylene lid. The Stanley logo is displayed on the front and bottom of each mug.
According to the CPSC notice, the main issue stems from the mug’s lid threads, which can shrink when exposed to heat and torque. This shrinkage can cause the lid to detach during use, which poses a burn hazard to consumers.
The recall affects products sold nationwide and online through major retailers such as Amazon.com, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Target. The mugs were available for purchase from June 2016 through December 2024, with prices ranging from $20 to $50, depending on the model.
Stanley reported receiving 91 incident reports worldwide, including 16 in the United States, of the recalled travel mugs’ lids detaching while in use. Such mishaps have resulted in 38 burn injuries globally, with two occurring in the United States and 11 consumers worldwide requiring medical attention.
In response, Stanley is urging consumers to stop using the recalled travel mugs immediately. The company is offering a free replacement lid, including shipping to affected customers.
To determine if their mug is part of the recall, consumers should check for specific product identification numbers printed on the mug’s bottom. The recall notice provides a list of these numbers for reference.
