Dr. Martens is recalling about 30,000 pairs of unisex Vegan 1460 eight-eye boots in cherry red. Direct and prolonged contact with the lining of the boot tongue can expose the wearer to the hazardous chemical benzidine. These boots were sold between January 2015 and July 2017 at various retailers including Dr. Martens, Journeys, and online sites like Amazon.com. Consumers are being offered a full refund or a free replacement product.
The inner lining of the boot tongue contains benzidine, a chemical that can be absorbed through the skin during prolonged contact. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, exposure to this chemical poses a health risk to the wearer.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled boots and contact Dr. Martens for a full refund or free replacement product.
