Product Safety Australia renews warning over previously recalled coolers
- Replies 14
As we age, we become more aware of the importance of our safety and that of our families.
Home products should always be held to a high standard.
That's why a recent safety alert could affect your grandchildren and the entire family.
Product Safety Australia (PSA) issued another recall for Yeti Australia's range of coolers.
The recall followed the news of a child in the United States who recently swallowed a magnet from a Yeti Australia cooler.
Among the recalled items were Yeti Australia's Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, Hopper M30 1.0 Tote Cooler, Hopper M30 2.0 Tote Cooler, and the Sidekick Dry Gear Case.
Yeti Australia items were previously recalled in May 2023, but the recent incident reignited concerns.
'The magnet-lined closures of these products can fail and may cause the magnets to be released from the closure,' the recall notice read.
This defect could be a choking hazard to young children.
If ingested, these magnets could attract each other through intestine walls or other digestive tissues, which could cause severe internal injuries or death.
PSA urged the owners of the recalled Yeti Australia products to stop using them immediately.
Owners can return the product to the place of purchase for a refund or credit note.
Alternatively, owners can also contact Yeti directly for a cash refund or a gift card.
Yeti also provided a hotline—1800 960 859—available from 8 am to 5 pm for further assistance.
Shoppers could also send an email about the recall to [email protected].
Product recalls should not be taken lightly.
They are issued for the safety of consumers, and it's essential to heed these warnings.
Remember, safety is paramount, and staying informed is the first step in protecting our loved ones.
Let's all do our part to keep our families safe from hidden dangers in everyday items.
