The lids on the Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action mugs could detach during use, posing a burn risk
Stanley is recalling all 2.6 million Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel travel mugs sold in the U.S. because the lids can detach when exposed to heat, posing a burn hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using these travel mugs and contact Stanley for a free replacement lid, shipping included, according to the recall notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Details of the Stanley Travel Mug Recall
The recall: The double-walled mugs have a polypropylene lid and are sold in a variety of colors, including white, black, and green. The Switchback is sold in 12-oz. and 16-oz. sizes. The Trigger Action is sold in 12-oz., 16-oz., and 20-oz. sizes.
To see if your mug is one of the recalled models, look for one of the product identification numbers shown below that are printed on the bottom. It should also have a Stanley logo that appears on the front and bottom.
The recalled product identification numbers are Switchback 12-oz. (20-01437); Switchback 16-oz. (20-01436, 20-02211); Trigger Action 12-oz. (20-02033, 20-02779, 20-02825); Trigger Action 16-oz. (20-02030, 20-02745, 20-02957); and Trigger Action 20-oz. (20-02034, 20-02746).
