Stanley is recalling about 2.6 million of its mugs due to a hiccup with the lids. The lid threads on the Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs could shrink if exposed to too much heat, which causes the lid to come off, "posing a burn hazard," the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday. Stanley has received 91 reports globally of the lids coming off, the safety commission said. As a result, 38 people were burned, 11 of whom had to receive medical attention.


Stanley directed its customers to cease using defective lids if one is identified, and to contact the company for a replacement lid.
