Logger boots mislabelled, pose shock hazard

Michigan-based Wolverine World Wide Inc. is recalling about 9,500 logger boots that were incorrectly labelled as being resistant to electrical currents, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
Should a user come into contact with an electrical current, the boots would pose a shock hazard, the CPSC said. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
The recall applies to the Caterpillar brand steel toe logger boots with the stock numbers P88033 and P88034.
The boots were sold in stores in the U.S. from September 2006 through July 2007 for between $90 and $130 US each.
Consumers should stop wearing the boots and contact the company for a free replacement.
