What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has been reported (16 cuts, some requiring stitches), but no deaths or severe injuries are documented, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for reported injuries without critical outcomes.
Plain-English summary
NIKE USA Inc. is recalling approximately 225,000 pairs of Jordan Trunner LX and Jordan Trunner 2000 cross-training shoes. The recall involves shoes in size six and higher, specifically model numbers 136040 (Jordan Trunner LX) and 136050 (Jordan Trunner 2000 Mid). These shoes were sold at major athletic shoe stores and department stores nationwide from May 2000 to February 2001 for between $100 and $125.
The recalled shoes have a thin metal strip about 4 inches long on the outside of the heel, encased in plastic. This metal strip can protrude from the shoe and form a sharp edge that can cut consumers. NIKE has received 16 reports of consumers receiving cuts to the lower legs from the metal strip, including several reports of persons requiring stitches.
Consumers should stop using these cross-training shoes immediately and return them to the store where purchased to receive a substitute product or a store credit. For more information, consumers can call NIKE at (800) 344-6453 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or access the Nike website at www.nikebiz.com.
