Carcinogens exceed the limit! Well-known brand women's shoes are recalled! Available on multiple platforms!

It is learned that according to foreign media reports, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced the recall of more than 120,000 pairs of Clarks brand women's shoes. The reason for the recall is that these products contain carcinogenic chemicals and pose a risk of poisoning.

The CPSC said the uppers of these shoes contain excessive amounts of the chemicals benzidine or dimethoxybenzidine, which can cause adverse health effects if worn for a long time.

Benzidine is a synthetic chemical that is also a potential carcinogen. In the past, the United States used a lot of this chemical to make dyes for cloth, paper and leather, but clothing containing these chemicals has been banned in the United States since the mid-1970s, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The report said that the recall involves the Clarks brand Breeze series, which contains a variety of styles. The specific information is as follows:

It is learned that these women's shoes originated in China and were imported into the United States by C&J Clark America Inc. (a subsidiary of Clarks). They were sold in Clarks, Macy's, JC Penney, Kohl's, QVC, Shoe Carnival, DSW and Zappos stores, as well as Clarksusa.com and Amazon.com from February 2022 to October 2022. The price was about US$65. About 113,000 pairs were sold in the United States and about 10,000 pairs were sold in Canada. They were very popular.

The CPSC is warning consumers not to purchase the shoes in question and reminding buyers not to wear them. If they have already purchased the product, they should contact Clarks for a full refund.
