CHINESE FLIP-FLOPS CAUSE FOOT PROBLEMS

(11/26/2007)

WalMart stores across the country pulled flip-flops made in China this summer after customers complained of rashes or burns developing on their feet. The recall drew little media attention among hundreds of recalls issued this year. WalMart said they had only ten complaints. A Texas woman says her feet started showing signs of a rash about three weeks after she started wearing the sandals in July. As the scarring worsened into the exact pattern of the flip flop straps, she filed a complaint with WalMart. She said they did not appear to be responsive to her complaint, saying they would do testing. She has set up a web site about the problem www.lamanaphotography.com
