Vidcast: https://youtu.be/zOAiSYOP6sc

The CPSC and YETI are recalling YETI Soft Backpack Coolers, Soft Coolers, and Sidekick Dry Gear Cases. The magnets in the magnet-lined closures may detach and be swallowed by young children. These high powered magnets may attract each other while in the gastrointestinal tract leading to perforations, gut torsion, intestinal blockage, infection, sepsis, and death. About 1.9 million of these YETI items were sold in the US and about 40,760 were sold in Canada at Dick’s Sporting Goods, ACE Hardware, Academy Sports + Outdoors, YETI and other stores nationwide and online at yeti.com and amazon.com. Stop using these items and contact YETI at 1-833-444-3151 or via email at [email protected] for instructions about returning the product for a replacement product or a refund in the form of a yeti.com gift card with $25 above the case value added.
