LaCrosse recalls two styles of work boots
Portland-based LaCrosse Footwear, Inc., in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSF), has recalled approximately 8,400 pairs of its Polar and Trailblazer work boots due to safety concerns. Consumers have been advised to stop using the boots immediately and will receive a store credit towards the purchase of a new pair of boots.
