Plain-English summary

Naturalizer is recalling its "Dare" women's dress shoes because the heels can lean to either side, which poses a fall hazard when worn. The shoes are faux patent leather with a three-inch heel, open toes, and a decorative bow across the front. They were sold in sizes 5M to 10M, 11M, 7W to 9W in gray, nude, scarlet, and black. The stock numbers A3279S1020, A3279S1250, A3279S1600, and A3279S2001 are printed inside the shoes below the size number.

The firm received one report of a consumer in Canada who received a minor leg injury when she fell while wearing the shoes. About 6,100 pairs were sold in the United States and 700 pairs in Canada. The shoes were sold at Naturalizer stores nationwide from July 2011 through November 2011 for between $25 and $50.

Consumers should immediately stop wearing the shoes and return them to any Naturalizer store for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact the firm toll-free at (888) 443-2019, visit www.naturalizer.com, or email [email protected].
