LaCrosse Footwear Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, has announced a voluntary recall of about 8,400 pairs of Polar and Trailblazer Work Boots. The protective toe cap on the boots may not provide sufficient impact and compression protection. This could result in crushing, bruising, or other injury to the wearer's foot. No injuries have been reported.
The Polar and Trailblazer style boots were sold in black or brown with the company name “LaCrosse” written on the side of the boot. The boots have the style name “Polar” or “Trailblazer” and one of the following style numbers on the inside of the tongue of the boot: 693100, 00693100, and 466000. Only these style numbers are included in this recall.
The boots were sold at independent sporting goods, farm, work and shoe stores nationwide, as well as through safety distributors, from June 2002 to July 2004 for between $67 and $110.
Consumers have been advised to stop using the boots immediately and contact LaCrosse to receive a store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of boots.
