Plain-English summary
Rocky Brands Inc. is recalling approximately 6,800 Georgia Boot steel-toed work shoes. The recalled shoes are six inches tall, brown leather, and feature a steel toe cap. They were sold under the Georgia Boot brand name with a "Met-Guard" tag on the outward side and a white label on the inside of the tongue displaying product number G9075 and a date code between 01-12 and 10-13.
The recall was issued because the steel toe cap in the shoes can fail to protect the wearer's feet when compressed. This defect poses a risk of foot injury if the shoes are subjected to heavy loads or impacts. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
The shoes were sold nationwide from January 2012 to November 2013 for about $150. They were distributed through Lehigh Outfitters stores, traveling ShoeMobiles, online at www.lehighoutfitters.com and www.lehighsafetyshoes.com, and through client websites. Consumers should stop wearing the recalled shoes immediately and contact Rocky Brands for a free pair of replacement steel-toed shoes in a similar style.
