The Stanley mug recall has sparked widespread concern, as millions of popular travel mugs are being recalled due to a potential burn hazard. At Deldar Injury Attorneys, we prioritize your safety and are here to help if you’ve been affected by defective products.

Details on the Stanley Mug Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced a recall of over 2.6 million Stanley Switchback and Trigger-Action Travel Mugs. The recall was issued after reports indicated that the sealing lid could fail, causing hot liquids to leak or spray out unexpectedly. This defect poses a serious risk of burns to users. The mugs were sold between July 2018 and October 2023 at major retailers, including Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Stanley’s own website.

These double-walled mugs, available in 12 oz., 16 oz., and 20 oz. sizes, feature a polypropylene lid and were sold in various colors, including white, black, and green. The Stanley logo is present on both the front and bottom of the mug. Stanley has received 91 reports worldwide of lids detaching during use, resulting in 38 burn injuries. In the United States, there have been 16 reports, including two burn injuries. Globally, 11 consumers required medical attention due to these incidents.
