Rocky Brands is recalling approximately 1,800 pairs of Rocky Silent Hunter Rubber Snake Boots. The 16-inch tall camouflage boots were sold nationwide and online during March 2015. The recall was initiated because the built-in snake guard can fail to prevent snake bites, as evidenced by a contractor who was injured by a snake bite while demonstrating the product. Consumers should immediately stop using these boots and contact the company for a full refund or a free pair of replacement snakebite-proof hunting boots.
The internal snake guard fails to provide the promised protection, allowing snake fangs to penetrate the boot. This poses a serious risk of venomous snake bites and resulting physical injury to the wearer.
Consumers should stop wearing the recalled boots immediately and contact Rocky Brands for a full refund or a free pair of replacement snakebite-proof hunting boots in one of the following models: Lynx Snake, Classic Lynx Snake, Prolight Snake in lace up, pull-on or side-zip styles.
