Washington, December 13: Stanley is recalling approximately 2.6 million of its switchback and trigger action stainless steel travel mugs sold in the US because of a potential burn hazard. The company said that the mug's lid threads can shrink when exposed to heat and torque, causing the lid to detach during use, posing a burn hazard. Stanley has received 91 reports worldwide, including 16 in the US, of the recalled travel mugs' lids detaching during use, resulting in 38 burn injuries worldwide, including two burn injuries in the US, with 11 consumers worldwide requiring medical attention.
