Justin Boots Keaven WP Met Guard Work Boots Model SE4570

What went wrong

The notice saysThe work boots can be missing the metatarsal guard, posing an impact hazard to the user’s feet.

Safety-toe and metatarsal-guard boots are sold to meet impact and compression ratings. When a recall says the protection may fail, it means the boot may not hold up to the force the label promises. Employers who require protective footwear generally expect it to meet the rating printed in the boot, so check with your safety officer about a replacement.
