Wolverine Logger Boots

What went wrong

The notice saysThe recalled logger boots could be incorrectly labeled as resistant to electrical current. This poses a shock hazard to consumers who come in contact with an electrical current.

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.

How to tell if your pair is affected

Product description in the noticeThis recall involves Caterpillar brand steel toe logger boots. The boots were sold in women’s and men’s sizes. Women’s boots were sold in black and have stock number P88030. Men’s boots were sold in brown and black and have stock numbers P88033 or P88034. Stock numbers are printed on a label on the tongue of the shoe. The Caterpillar logo and "EH" are also printed on the label. The word "Caterpillar" is printed on the outside of the boots.

The notice gives no style numbers or barcodes, so you match on what it does give: the brand and style (Logger Boots), the sale period (September 2006 to July 2007), where it was sold (see “Sold at” above) and the “made in” label (China).
