Boots recalled because tread leaves swastika
By Lindsey Bever, Washington Post
A Southern California shoe company has recalled a model of military-style work boots after a customer complained that the tread leaves swastika stamps on the ground.
The faux pas was brought to the attention of Conal International Trading Inc., the city of Industry company that manufactures the lace-up boots, after a Redditor posted a picture on Imgur showing the footwear alongside its swastika imprints.
Conal International Trading said it has recalled the Polar Fox boots and stopped selling them.
In a revised statement Friday, the company said that it had imported the offensive footwear.
