Rocky Brands Recalls Georgia Boot Steel-Toed Shoes Due to Compression Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Rocky Brands is recalling approximately 6,800 Georgia Boot steel-toed work shoes because the internal steel toe cap can fail to protect your feet when compressed. The recall affects the 6-inch tall brown leather "Men's Georgia Metatarsal" boots (model G9075) sold between January 2012 and November 2013 for about $150. Consumers should stop wearing these boots immediately and contact Rocky Brands for a free replacement pair of steel-toed shoes in a similar style. While no injuries have been reported, the failure of the protective cap poses a significant safety risk in work environments.

Risk

The steel toe cap in the shoes can fail under pressure, meaning it will not provide the intended protection if a heavy object falls on or compresses the wearer's foot. This defect can lead to serious foot injuries in environments where steel-toed protection is required.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop wearing the recalled Georgia Boot steel-toed work shoes.
  2. Check the inside of the boot's tongue for a white label containing the Georgia Boot logo and product number 'G9075'.
  3. Verify the date code on the right side of the label, which should be between 01-12 and 10-13 in MM-YY format.
  4. Confirm the boot features a tag with 'Met-Guard' at the stitching and the Georgia Boot logo near the heel on the outward side.
  5. Contact Rocky Brands Inc. at (866) 245-2159 from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. ET Monday through Friday, or 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET on weekends to receive a free pair of replacement steel-toed shoes.
  6. You can also email clientservices@lehighoutfitters.com or visit www.rockybrands.com, www.lehighoutfitters.com, or www.lehighsafetyshoes.com and click on 'Safety Notice' for more information.
  7. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this recall.
