YETI is recalling about 1.9 million coolers and gear cases in the United States and 40,760 in Canada.

If the magnet-lined closures fail and the magnets fall out, serious injury or death can occur if they’re ingested. When two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other, or to another metal object, and get stuck in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and death.

YETI has received 1,399 reports of the magnet-lined closures degrading or failing, including reports of missing or detached magnets. No magnet ingestions or injuries have been reported.

This recall is for four YETI products: the Hopper M30 soft cooler 1.0 and 2.0, Hopper M20 backpack cooler, and SideKick Dry gear case. The recalled coolers and gear cases were sold in a variety of colors with YETI displayed on the front.

The coolers and gear cases were sold at Dick’s Sporting Goods, ACE Hardware, Academy Sports + Outdoors, YETI, and other stores nationwide and online at www.yeti.com and www.amazon.com from March 2018 to January 2023. The cost ranged from about $50 to $350.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact YETI for a refund or replacement, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise. Visit www.yeti.com for instructions.
