Urgent recall for 2.6million Stanley Cups sold across US after Americans were left with burn injuries
Stanley has recalled 2.6 million of its viral travel mugs because they pose a ‘burn hazard’.
The recall involves the popular drink and food container brand’s Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs.
Stanley has received 91 complaints about the products worldwide, with 16 of these coming from the US, with consumers stating that the recalled travel mugs’ lids detached during use.
This has resulted in 38 burn injuries worldwide, including two casualties in the US, and 11 of these have had to seek medical attention.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says that the mugs have faulty threads which can shrink when they are exposed to heat and pressure.
This means the mug lids can come off unexpectedly while being used.
The CPSC says consumers should immediately stop using the recalled travel mugs and contact Stanley to receive a free replacement lid, including shipping.
It estimates that the recall affects around 2.6 million products.
