Dan Post Boot Company is recalling about 7,200 McRae Industrial safety boots and shoes because they may fail to protect feet from falling objects.

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 a specific injury (broken foot) has been reported, but no fatalities or serious injuries requiring hospitalization are explicitly stated, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for injury reports without critical outcomes.

Plain-English summary

Dan Post Boot Company is recalling approximately 7,200 units of McRae Industrial brand steel toe boots, static dissipative shoes, and composite boots. The recall includes seven specific styles with model numbers MR85300, MR85394, MR47321, MR47616, MR87321, MR43002, and MR83310, which are printed on a tag on the lining of the boot or the tongue of the shoe. The products were manufactured in China and sold between October 2013 and June 2017 for between $80 and $130.

The boots and shoes can fail to protect feet when heavy or sharp objects fall on them, posing an injury hazard to consumers. The company has received one report of a tire falling onto a consumer's foot while wearing the safety boots, resulting in a broken foot.

The recalled products were sold at Gerler and Son Inc., Grainger Inc., Safety Solutions Inc., Standup Rancher, and other independent safety stores nationwide, as well as online at Kohls.com, Steel-Toe-Shoes.com, Thewesterncompany.com, and Workboots.com. Consumers should immediately stop wearing the recalled boots and shoes and return them to the firm to receive a full refund.
