Stanley Recalls Millions of Mugs: Heat Alert for Popular Travelware
Stanley, a well-known brand for durable and stylish travel mugs, has issued a sweeping recall affecting approximately 2.6 million Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs. This recall is due to a potential burn hazard posed by the lids shrinking under high temperatures, which can cause them to detach unexpectedly.

Stanley is recalling about 2.6 million of its mugs due to a hiccup with the lids.
The lid threads on the Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs could shrink if exposed to too much heat, which causes the lid to come off, “posing a burn hazard,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
Stanley has received 91 reports globally of the lids coming off, the safety commission said. As a result, 38 people were burned, 11 of whom had to receive medical attention.
