YETI is recalling about 1.9 million soft coolers and gear cases because the magnet-lined closures can fail and release high-powered magnets. This recall involves the Hopper M30 Soft Cooler (versions 1.0 and 2.0), Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, and the SideKick Dry Gear Case sold in various colors between March 2018 and January 2023. While no injuries have been reported, the firm has received 1,399 reports of the magnet strips degrading or failing, which can lead to magnets detaching. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact YETI for a full refund or a replacement product.
If two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other through intestinal walls, potentially causing perforations, blockages, infection, or blood poisoning. These conditions are life-threatening and may require emergency surgery.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact YETI to receive a full refund or replacement product. Visit www.yeti.com for instructions on returning the product free of charge for the choice of a suggested replacement product of equal or greater value or full refund in the form of a YETI gift card with an additional $25 value.
