One of the biggest names in the travel mug game is recalling millions of items after multiple reports of burn-related injuries.
Why Stanley Travel Mugs Are Being Recalled
According to information released by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, nearly 2.6 million Stanley travel mugs are included in the recall.
“These mugs’ lids can shrink when exposed to heat and torque, causing the lid to detach during use, posing a burn hazard,” the commission said in its report.

The commission says 91 reports of travel mug lids coming loose during use have already been made. Of those incidents, 38 people reportedly suffered burn injuries with at least 11 of them requiring medical attention.
