Health Canada has announced a recall of specific Stanley-branded travel mugs, citing safety concerns.
The recall involves the “Switchback” and “Trigger Action” travel mugs with black plastic lids, sold in various colors and sizes of 355 ml (12 oz), 473 ml (16 oz), and 591 ml (20 oz).
Hazard Identified
The recall stems from an issue where the threads on the affected lids may shrink when exposed to heat and torque, causing the lids to detach unexpectedly during use. This poses a significant risk of burns to consumers.
To date, three incidents have been reported in Canada, including one confirmed burn injury. In the United States, there have been 16 reported incidents and two confirmed burn injuries.
Health Canada says nearly 185,000 mugs have been sold in the country from May 2016 to December 2024.
What Consumers Should Do
Health Canada advises consumers to stop using the recalled travel mugs immediately. Stanley is offering free replacement lids, including shipping. Consumers can obtain further instructions on safe disposal of the products and claim replacement lids by:
Health Canada reminds consumers that under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, recalled products cannot be redistributed, sold, or given away.
Consumer Reporting Encouraged

Health Canada urges consumers to take this safety notice seriously and act promptly to avoid potential injuries.
