RECALL: Reports of amputations linked to product sold in Canada [Video]

Certain coolers have been recalled in Canada amid reports of injuries, including fingertip amputations and bone fractures in the United States, officials say.

Health Canada said Thursday that it is expanding a recall involving coolers that was first announced in February to add additional models.

The notice said that the recall involves Igloo 90 Qt Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers that were manufactured before January 2024.

The full list of affected products can be found on the Government of Canada website.
