Stanley, maker of the popular Quencher travel tumbler — also known as the Stanley cup — has issued a voluntary recall of all Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel travel mugs because the lids can shrink and become loose when exposed to heat. This can cause the lid to fall off when it’s being used, posing a burn risk.
Dozens of people worldwide have reported being burned due to the faulty lids, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a statement.
CPSC said the company had received 91 complaints worldwide, including 16 in the United States, of mug lids falling off during use. Overall nearly 40 people have reported being burned.

The recall includes 2.6 million mugs in the following sizes and with these product ID numbers:
- Switchback: 12 oz. (20-01437), 16 oz. (20-01436, 20-02211)
