The recall was issued through the Consumer Product Safety Commission, covering all Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action mugs sold in the US from June 2016 until now. The problem lies with the polypropylene lids, which can become loose due to heat exposure, risking detachment during use.
Costing between $20 and $50, these travel mugs have gained immense popularity, often found at major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Target. Available in various colors and sizes ranging from 12 to 20 ounces, consumer interest skyrocketed, particularly through social media influence.
Reports indicate that 91 incidents of detaching lids have occurred globally, with 38 resulting in burn injuries, emphasizing the seriousness of the defect. Stanley encourages all consumers with the affected mugs to cease usage immediately and seek a free replacement lid.
Despite this setback, Stanley has a long-standing reputation, existing since the early 1900s initially catering to outdoor enthusiasts. In recent years, their products have transitioned into fashion items, with influencers driving a cultural phenomenon, particularly through platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
For consumers concerned about their safety, Stanley is committed to improving product quality and urges those affected to reach out promptly for replacements, ensuring safe usage in the future.
This recall serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of consumer safety and the vigilance required to prevent any potential hazards associated with everyday products.
