HydroJug recalled about 17,000 14-ounce Children’s Sport Tumblers on December 4, 2025. The rivets on the handle can come loose, so the handle may detach and pose a choking hazard for children.

As of October 2026, no lawsuit, class action or MDL over these tumblers has been reported. Stop using the tumbler and contact HydroJug for a free replacement lid.

Latest HydroJug Recall Updates

December 4, 2025: CPSC Announces the HydroJug Fast Track Recall

The CPSC announced Recall No. 26-129 on December 4, 2025. The recall covers a tumbler made by HydroJug, Inc., of Ogden, Utah [1]. HydroJug offers a free replacement lid, and owners email service@thehydrojug.com.

Which HydroJug Are Affected?

The recall covers the 14-ounce Children’s Sport Tumbler in five patterns. Each pattern has its own UPC:

  • Daisy Checker: UPC 810084150177
  • Bows: UPC 810084150450
  • Sports: UPC 810084150566
  • Dinosaur: UPC 810084150580
  • Cowgirl: UPC 810084150610

The serial number is 2350101, or none. Look on the bottom, under the rubber boot. HydroJug’s recall page gives the sale period as May 17, 2025 to June 6, 2025, and the tumblers cost about $25 [2].

Why Was HydroJug Recalled?

HydroJug recalled the tumblers because the handle rivets can loosen. A handle that detaches is a choking hazard for children.

The handle with the rivets is attached to the lid of the tumbler, according to USA Today [3]. So the remedy replaces the lid.

The company says it discovered a potential issue with a limited number of its 14 oz. sport tumblers. The recall addresses that risk.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The firm has received 656 reports of the rivets on the handle coming loose. These reports went to HydroJug, and the notice names no injuries. A report of loose rivets does not show that a child was harmed.

If a child is hurt, the FAQ below explains where to report it to the CPSC, and the Legal Options section explains what to keep.

What Should Consumers Do?

Follow these steps if you own a recalled HydroJug tumbler:

  1. Stop using the recalled tumbler right away.
  2. Check the pattern and the bottom of the tumbler against the list above.
  3. Email service@thehydrojug.com with “Product Recall” in the subject line, or visit https://www.thehydrojug.com/recall.
  4. Send the order details if you have them, your shipping address and the photos HydroJug asks for.
  5. Mark the lid permanently with the word “Recalled”, photograph it and dispose of it.
  6. Wait for HydroJug to confirm eligibility and send the free replacement lid.
  7. If the remedy is not working, call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 or use the recall complaint form on the CPSC notice.

A recall alone does not make the company liable or mean a claim qualifies. If a child was hurt, keep the tumbler, lid, photos, receipt and medical records, then ask a lawyer to review what happened.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need to Return the Whole HydroJug Tumbler?

You do not need to return the whole HydroJug tumbler. Only the lid is replaced, and the tumbler body is not returned. HydroJug sends only the new lid.

How Can I Reach HydroJug About the Recall?

You can reach HydroJug about the recall by phone at 801-829-1628, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm MT. Calling is an option if you would rather not email service@thehydrojug.com.

Are Other HydroJug Products Recalled?

Other HydroJug products are not recalled. This recall covers only the 14-ounce Children’s Sport Tumbler, and the CPSC recall list names no other HydroJug action. Only the five patterns listed above are affected.

How Do I Report a HydroJug Injury to the CPSC?
