What Stanley cups were part of the recall?
The cups in question aren’t the viral Quencher tumblers that have caused a craze over the past few years. It’s the 12- and 16-ounce Switchback and the 12-, 16-, and 20-ounce Trigger Action travel mugs that are to blame. When exposed to heat, the threads (the part of the lid that screws into the cup) can shrink and detach from the cup, putting consumers at risk of being burned by hot liquid. Not exactly the morning commute you asked for.
The Switchback typically can keep a drink hot for about four hours and the Trigger Action can stay hot for about seven hours. The cups have been on shelves since June 2016 at most major retailers (like Amazon, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Target), and have one of the following product identification numbers on the bottom:
- 20-01437
- 20-01436
- 20-02211
- 20-02033
- 20-02779
- 20-02825
- 20-02030
- 20-02745
- 20-02957
- 20-02034
- 20-02746
The recall was voluntary, which means the company was not mandated to recall the cups, they chose to do it themselves.
