Caterpillar Boots Recall

September 2nd, 2007 Submitted by: Adrian

When I was in HK, I managed to get two pairs of Caterpillar Boots since it was on offer and buying two pairs entitled me to additional “bulk” discounts. The shoes were comfortable and definitely cheaper priced than over here in Malaysia. I was indeed happy with my purchase. However the next day when I was in Macau, my friend mentioned to me that she saw on the news that Caterpillar boots had a recall due to some faulty boots. Apparantly these boots are not resistant to electrical currents as labelled, which means the wearer of these boots are susceptible to electrical shocks. I have checked and the Stock Numbers do not match that of my boots *phew*.  Anyway for those of you who own Cat Boots, you can check if your boots match the following Stock Numbers: P88033 or P88034.
