Popular Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel mugs, priced $20-$50, were sold through Amazon, Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Target.

Eight-year sales period from June 2016 to December 2024 complicates the recall's reach across multiple retail channels.

Consumers must stop using these mugs immediately and contact Stanley for replacements while checking product numbers for verification.

Stanley's quality commitment statement contrasts sharply with the eight-year window before addressing safety issues.
