Madewell is recalling approximately 50,600 pairs of Sightseer sandals from its Spring 2015 collection because a metal piece in the shoe can break through the sole. This defect can cause the wearer to trip or fall, and the company has already received eight reports of the metal shanks dislodging. The recalled sandals were sold at Madewell stores and online at madewell.com and shopbop.com between February 2015 and July 2015. Consumers should immediately stop wearing these sandals and contact Madewell for a full refund.
The metal shank inside the shoe can dislodge and break through the bottom of the outer sole. If the metal punctures the sole while a consumer is walking, it creates an uneven surface or snagging hazard that can cause the wearer to trip and fall.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shoes and contact Madewell to return them for a full refund.
