Indiana Alert: 1M Igloo Coolers Recalled for Injury Risk

Just as many of us are planning our outdoor summer fun, a massive recall has been issued for more than one million Igloo coolers due to the risk of serious injury.

Now is the time of year when I start planning all of my outdoor activities. From music festivals and camping trips to tailgate parties and cookouts with friends, my cooler is one of my most essential items. If you're like I am and you spend a lot of time outdoors with your cooler within arm's reach, this recall could affect you.

Why the Igloo Coolers Are Being Recalled

Igloo has recalled over one million coolers because they pose a risk of "fingertip amputation" and "crushing hazards." According to a report from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, there have been 12 reports of injuries that have included fingertip amputation, lacerations, and bone fractures.
