Thousands of Rossignol Cross-Country Boots Recalled

About 3,000 pairs of Rossignol Cross-Country boots have been recalled because the soles on the hiking boots can separate from the upper boot, creating a trip and fall risk, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The boots, made by Rossignol Ski Co., of Park City, Utah, were sold at specialty outdoor retailers in the United States and Canada from December 2007 through June 2009 for between $140 and $400 in the U.S. and between $200 and $500 in Canada.

There have been no reports of incidents or injuries caused by defective Rossignol Cross-Country boots, the CPSC said.

The recall involves specific models of Rossignol cross-country boots, including X-IUM World Cup Skate, X-IUM World Cup Classic, X-IUM World Cup Pursuit, X-11 Skate, and X-IUM J Skate. The model name can be found printed on the upper part of the boot.

Boots included in this recall also have a five- or six-digit lot number stamped on the right boot under the removable insole.

Owners of the recalled Rossignol hiking boots should immediately stop wearing them and contact Rossignol to determine if their boots are included in this recall. Owners of recalled boots will qualify to receive either a free replacement pair or a refund, the CPSC said.
