Derrick R. Connell is committed to protecting Florida consumers from dangerous and defective products. Recently, a major recall was issued for Stanley’s popular travel mugs due to a serious safety hazard. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of these defective mugs, you may be entitled to compensation. Here’s everything you need to know about the recall and what steps you should take to protect yourself.
The Recall: What Happened?
Stanley, a well-known brand for durable drinkware, has recalled 2.6 million travel mugs sold across the United States. The recall affects the following models:
Trigger-Action Travel Mugs (16 oz. and 20 oz.)
Switchback Travel Mugs
The issue? The lids on these mugs can shrink or detach when exposed to heat, causing hot liquids to spill. This poses a significant burn hazard to consumers. As of now, there have been 38 reported burn injuries, 11 of which required medical treatment.
The defective mugs were sold online and at major retailers, including Target, Walmart, and Amazon, between June 2019 and December 2024.
Why Is This a Serious Safety Concern?
Burn injuries are painful and can have long-term consequences, including:
Severe skin damage (first- or second-degree burns)
Permanent scarring or disfigurement
Medical costs for treatment and rehabilitation
Loss of income from missed work
Emotional trauma
When companies fail to produce safe products, they must be held accountable for the harm caused to consumers.
What Should You Do If You Own a Stanley Mug?
If you have a recalled Stanley travel mug:
Stop using the mug immediately to avoid any risk of injury.
Check the recall details on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website to confirm if your mug is included.
Contact Stanley for a replacement lid, as they are offering this remedy to affected customers.
Document any injuries: If you or someone you know has already suffered burns from a defective mug, take photos of the injuries and seek medical attention right away.
