Stanley Recalls 2.6 Million Travel Mugs Over Safety Concerns
Stanley is recalling approximately 2.6 million travel mugs due to a safety issue with the lids, which can pose a burn hazard, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall affects the Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs. The problem? If the lids are exposed to excessive heat, the threading may shrink, causing them to loosen or detach entirely. This defect has already resulted in 91 reported incidents globally, including 38 burn injuries. Among those injured, 11 required medical treatment.
Affected Products
The recall includes:
- Switchback Mugs: 12-ounce and 16-ounce sizes
- Trigger Action Mugs: 12-ounce, 16-ounce, and 20-ounce sizes
These products were sold between June 2016 and December 2024 at major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target, priced between $20 and $50.

In a statement, Stanley emphasized its commitment to product improvement and customer safety. The company is urging consumers to stop using the recalled mugs immediately. Affected customers can contact Stanley for a free replacement lid.
