Writer Switches Gear, Recalls Tumblers Over Hot Topic

Do you drink from a Stanley mug? You might want to listen up! Recently, Stanley has asked folks to stop using some of their travel mugs. Why? Because these mugs might be a bit too hot to handle. The problem isn't with the coffee or tea, but with the lid. Once these lids get warm and twisted around, they can come off, and that's where the burn hazard comes in. We're talking about the Stanley Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel travel mugs, sold all over the USA. They come in various colors like white, black, and green, and in sizes from 12 to 20 ounces. So far, more than 90 people worldwide have faced issues with these lids, with some even getting burned.If you've got one of these mugs, don't panic. Just stop using it and head to Stanley's website. There, you can find out if your mug is one of the recalled ones and get a free replacement lid. It's a hassle, sure, but safety comes first, right? These mugs weren't cheap, either. They ranged from $20 to $50, depending on the model, and were sold at big-name stores like Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Stanley has been around for over a hundred years, but last year, they shifted their brand to draw in more women. They launched a bunch of new, colorful drinkware and turned to social media influencers to spread the word. These influencers helped create a buzz, making the mugs a symbol of what’s trendy.
