Stanley is recalling 2.6 million travel mugs in response to a potential safety issue with their lids.
The lids on the recalled Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs can potentially “break off during use, posing a burn risk,” a withdrawal notice released Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), he said.
The Seattle-based company said the risk of the caps coming loose during use was due to a problem with their threads, which “can shrink when exposed to heat and torque.”

The recalled Switchback travel mugs come in 12- and 16-ounce sizes. The sizes of the recalled Trigger Action mugs are 12, 16 and 20 ounces. They have specific product identification numbers.

“We ask all customers who own any of the products to stop using them immediately and contact Stanley 1913 for a free replacement cap,” the company said Thursday in a Facebook post.
The company is aware of 16 cases where caps came loose during use in the U.S., plus another 75 in other countries, according to the CPSC recall notice.
Among the 91 incidents reported worldwide, 38 people suffered burns. Eleven people had to seek medical attention, according to the notice.
