What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: One injury report exists (bruising from impact), but it is a minor injury without hospitalization or serious harm reported. The hazard is a missing safety component on a protective device, which is a functional defect rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural vehicle failure, placing it at the Moderate level per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Boot Royalty Company L.P., of Fort Worth, Texas, is recalling approximately 3,200 Men's Dark Brown Keaven WP Met Guard Work Boots, Model SE4570. The recalled leather slip-on boots were manufactured in July and August 2022 and are designed with a metatarsal guard and steel toe to protect the wearer's feet.

The boots can be missing the metatarsal guard, which poses an impact hazard to the user's feet. The company has received one report of an injury when a heavy object fell on a consumer's foot, resulting in bruising.

The recalled boots were sold nationwide and online through Grainger, Safety Shoes Distributors, Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Company, and other retailers at www.grainger.com, www.justinboots.com, and other online sites from September 2022 through September 2023, with prices between $150 and $200. The boots are tan and brown slip-on style with decorative stitching, available in men's sizes 7 through 14, and can be identified by a red "Justin" label on the outsole and a manufacturing date code of either 07/22 NH or 08/22 NH heat transferred inside the shaft.
