Kids do the darndest things, and that’s seriously bad news if you’re a large company that makes airtight boxes that a kid might want to climb inside. Igloo, the popular cooler maker, just announced a recall of some 60,000 of its Marine Elite coolers after 5-year-old Nicholas Wanes decided his parents’ cooler would make for a perfect hiding place.
The boy, who was not injured in the incident and recently appeared in television interviews alongside his parents, thought it would be neat to climb inside the empty cooler. Once the lid was closed — which took a fair bit of work on the part of the boy — he panicked, and now Igloo is doing its best to head off a public relations nightmare.
