NIKE USA Jordan Trunner cross-training shoes

What went wrong

The notice saysThe shoes have a thin metal strip on the outside of the heel that can protrude from the shoe and form a sharp edge that can cut consumers.

This was the second time in 5 months that NIKE USA recalled footwear for a laceration hazard; the first was Jordan Trunner LX and Jordan Trunner 2000 cross-training shoes on February 22, 2001. Both notices name the metal part as the part that fails. The notices are separate, each with its own description and dates, so check every pair you own against its own notice.

How this recall compares

• With about 425,000 units, this is the 5th largest of the 95 footwear recalls in our archive that give a U.S. unit count. The median recall in the archive covers about 7,200 units, so this one is well above typical size.
• 9 other footwear recalls in the archive cite the same kind of hazard (cuts and scrapes), 2 of them in adult / unisex footwear. The earliest in this group dates from 1997.
• The notice puts the sales window at about 25 months (July 1999 to July 2001), against a median of 7 months across recalls that state one. The recall came in the same month sales ended.
• The notice gives a price of $90 to $125. For sneakers and athletic shoes in the archive the typical stated price is about $38, so this pair sat at the pricier end of its group.
• The notice cites 6 reports before the recall and 1 injury. 36 of the 95 detailed notices in the archive cite no incidents at all.

Year, part, store and origin

• 2001 brought 4 footwear recalls in our archive, covering about 797,000 units in all. This was the 3rd of the year by date and the 1st largest by units.
• The notice names the metal part as the part that fails. 6 other footwear recalls in the archive name the same part in their hazard statement; the most recent is Sandals (2015).
• 6 reports on about 425,000 units works out to roughly 1.4 reports per 100,000 units. The median across the 55 recalls that give both figures is 16, so this recall drew fewer reports per pair than most.
• At the stated price, the 425,000 units come to roughly $46 million of retail sales, one of the ten largest recalls in the archive.

Against the other NIKE USA recall
