Georgia Boot Recalls Steel Toe Logger Boots Due to Electrical Mislabeling

Plain-English summary

Georgia Boot, of Franklin, Tenn., is recalling approximately 10,000 steel toe logger boots. The recalled boots are brown and black with laces that tie up to the calf. They have stock numbers G8320, G8322, and G9360, which are located on a label under the tongue of the boot. The same label features stitching of the "Georgia Boot" name.

The boots may have been mislabeled to indicate that they are resistant to electrical current, which is incorrect. This mislabeling may result in a serious shock or electrocution to consumers. Georgia Boot has not received any reports of incidents, and the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.

These boots were sold at retail shoe stores nationwide and independent retail stores from October 2002 through April 2004 for between $80 and $150. Consumers should stop using the boots immediately and return them to the company so they can be re-labeled or provided with a new pair of boots, free of charge. Consumers can call Georgia Boot toll-free at (877) 795-2410, send an e-mail to [email protected], or write to Georgia Boot, P.O. Box 10, Franklin, TN 37063, Attn: EH Product - Labeling Issue.
