The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the L.L. Bean Inc., today announced a voluntary recall of the Stabilicers Lite Cleats.
The elastic harness system attaching the cleats to footwear can detach, posing a fall hazard to consumers. The firm has received two reports of the harness breaking, but no injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Stabilicers Lite cleats with model number BNX9. The cleats are worn over footwear for traction in winter walking conditions. The recalled cleats were sold in blue, orange, and pink. Black Stabilicers Lite cleats are not included in this recall.
The cleats were sold at L.L. Bean stores nationwide, LLBean.com and the L.L. Bean catalog from August 2008 through November 2008 for about $20. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cleats and contact L.L. Bean to receive a replacement or refund.
