Recall Summary

This recall involves YETI Hopper M30 Soft Cooler 1.0 and 2.0, Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, and SideKick Dry Gear Case. The recall was published on March 9, 2023, by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) under Recall Number 23145. The firm, YETI Coolers LLC, of Austin, Texas, is recalling approximately 1.9 million units in the United States and about 40,760 units sold in Canada. The products were manufactured in the Philippines, Vietnam, and China. The products 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 through January 2023.

Affected Products

The recalled products are the YETI Hopper M30 Soft Cooler 1.0 and 2.0, Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, and SideKick Dry Gear Case. The M20 Soft Backpack Cooler measures approximately 18 inches wide and 18 inches high. The M30 Soft Cooler 1.0 and 2.0 measures approximately 25 inches wide and 17 inches high. The SideKick Dry Gear Case measures approximately 11 inches wide and 7 inches high. The recalled coolers and gear cases were sold in a variety of colors and have the brand name YETI displayed on the front. A hang tag with the product name is attached to the coolers and gear cases. The products have a main-pocket closure lined with high-powered magnets, which are enclosed in a heat-sealed plastic strip.

Hazard Information

The magnet-lined closures can fail and result in detached magnets, posing a risk of serious injury or death if ingested. When two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract to each other, or to another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and death. The firm 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.
