Stanley is recalling 2.6 million travel mugs in response to a potential safety issue with their lids.
The caps on the recalled Switchback and Trigger Action travel guides may “break during use, causing a hazard,” said a recall notice published Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The company, which is headquartered in Seattle, said the risk of the shutters coming off during use stems from the issue of their cables, which “can shrink when exposed to heat and torque.”

Switchback’s reusable travel mugs come in 12-ounce and 16-ounce sizes. The Trigger Action cup sizes subject to the recall are 12, 16 and 20 ounces. They have specific product identification numbers.

“We ask that all customers in possession of either product stop use immediately and reach out to Stanley 1913 for a free cap,” the company said Thursday in a Facebook post.
The company is aware of 16 cases of the lids clogging while in use in the US, and another 75 in other countries, according to the CPSC recall notice.
Of the 91 incidents reported worldwide, 38 people were burned. 11 people needed medical attention, the notice said.
