A spokesperson for Mister Safety Shoes confirmed the company caught the issue at its distribution centre before the product went out to market.
“They (the boots) were labelled with a green patch instead of a blue patch - we confirmed there was no plate in them by cutting the product open, reported it to Dunlop, and sent back to Dunlop all of the affected pairs that we had purchased,” the spokesperson said.
Mister Safety Shoes said they reached out to all of their locations to send back any defects if they did find a pair with the improper label.
Health Canada said the recalled product doesn’t comply with the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act relating to the accuracy of information required to be shown on the label.
As of Feb. 25, 2025, the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. The products were sold between January and February 2025.
