Consumer Product Safety Commission
YETI has issued a recall of 1.9 million soft coolers and gear cases due to safety concerns related to a product malfunction.
“The magnet-lined clasps on these products can fail and detach the magnets, posing a risk of serious injury or death if ingested,” the YETI website states. The company is directing all product owners to stop using it immediately.
models recalled
The following models manufactured between March 2018 and January 2023 have been recalled:
- Funnel M20
- Funnel M30 1.0 and 2.0
- Side kick dry
Not sure which one you own? Check the hangtag on the outside of the cooler. You can also find the SKU numbers on the website.
security risks
Ingesting more than one magnet can cause them to attract each other or another metal object and get stuck in the digestive system.
This can lead to:
- perforations
- Torsion and/or obstruction of the bowel
- infection
- blood poisoning
- Death
Although the Consumer Product Safety Commission said no choking or injuries were reported, it has received 1,399 reports of “deterioration or failure of magnet-lined fasteners, including reports of missing or detached magnets.”
