Igloo has expanded its recall of 90-quart Flip and Tow Rolling Coolers, bringing the total number of recalled units to more than 1.1 million.

The original recall, announced in February 2025, affected about 1,060,000 coolers. The latest expansion adds another 130,000 units and includes three additional models with date codes between July 2020 and February 2023.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the coolers pose a risk of injury because the side handles can pinch fingers against the cooler.
