BALTIMORE, MD—Stanley has issued a recall of about 2.6 million stainless steel travel mugs sold nationwide because the lids can detach and cause burns.

The recall covers all Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs with polypropylene lids. The mugs came in 12-, 16-, and 20-ounce sizes in white, black, and green. The Stanley logo is on the mug’s front and bottom. Recalled mugs bear one of the following product identification numbers on their bottoms. The mugs were sold at a variety of retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Target and other stores nationwide, and online from June 2016 through December 2024.

Stanley has received 91 reports worldwide, including 16 in the U.S., of the lids detaching during use, which has resulted in 38 burn injuries worldwide, including two in the U.S. In 11 of the incidents, consumers required medical attention.

The company says the mug’s lid threads can shrink when exposed to heat and torque, which can cause the lid to detach while the mug is being used.

Owners of recalled mugs should stop using them and contact Stanley for a free replacement lid, including shipping. Consumers can contact Stanley at 866-792-5445 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online here.
