According to the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission, Stanley has recalled 2.6 million travel mugs due to a burn hazard. 

Stanley has received 91 reports worldwide, including 16 in the U.S., of the recalled travel mugs’ lids detaching during use, resulting in 38 burn injuries worldwide, including two burn injuries in the U.S., with 11 consumers worldwide requiring medical attention.

The recalled mugs have one of the following product identification numbers printed on the bottom of the mug. 20-01437, 20-01436, 20-02211, 20-02033, 20-02779, 20-02825. 20-02030, 20-02745, 20-02957, 20-02034, or 20-02746.

The mugs were sold by retailers Amazon, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Target from June 2016 through December 2024 costing between $20 and $50.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled travel mugs and contact Stanley to receive a free replacement lid, including shipping.
