Around 2.6 million Stanley travel mugs have been recalled due to safety issues associated with their design.
If you’re concerned about your stylish Stanley cup that has taken TikTok by storm, don’t fret—it’s probably not affected. The recall pertains to the **Stanley Switchback** and **Trigger Action** travel mugs, not the widely loved **Quencher tumblers** that have become a hit on social media.
### What’s the concern?
The **Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)** reported that the Switchback and Trigger Action mugs have a defect where the “lid threads can shrink when exposed to heat and torque.” This defect can lead to the lid coming off during usage, creating a burn risk. The CPSC has noted 91 reports worldwide of lids detaching, leading to 38 burn injuries, with 11 individuals needing medical assistance.
### What actions should you take?
Stanley is providing a **complimentary replacement lid** for the affected items. To determine if your mug is included in the recall and to request a replacement, visit the company’s [recall website](https://stanley1913tmrecall.expertinquiry.com/).
### A background of safety issues
This isn’t the first occasion Stanley has been under scrutiny. Previously, the company faced backlash when it was disclosed that some of its mugs contained minor amounts of lead. However, experts clarified that the lead was contained within the insulation and did not pose any danger to consumers.
### The crucial point
Although this recall may cause some inconvenience, it’s easy to address by getting a new lid. And for enthusiasts of the Quencher tumbler, there’s no need for concern—it remains completely safe to bring along on your next shopping trip to Target.
