PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- LaCrosse Footwear of Portland, Ore., Wednesday recalled 8,400 Polar and Trailblazer work boots because they may not provide sufficient protection.
LaCrosse said the protective toe cap on the boots may not provide sufficient impact and compression protection. This could result in crushing, bruising or other injury to the wearer's foot.
The company said it has not received any reports of injuries as a result of wearing the boots.
The Polar and Trailblazer style boots were sold in black or brown with "LaCrosse" written on the side of the boot.
The boots have the style name "Polar" or "Trailblazer" and one of the following style numbers on the inside of the tongue of the boot: 693100, 00693100 of 466000.
Only these style numbers are included in the recall.
The boots were sold at independent sporting goods, farm, work and shoe stores nationwide, as well as through safety distributors. Boots were sold from June 2002 to last July for between $67 and $110.
Consumers are advised to stop using the boots immediately and contact LaCrosse at (800) 890-3505 to receive a store credit toward the purchase of a new pair of boots.
