Nike Jordan Trunner Shoes Being Recalled

Nike Inc., maker of athletic shoes and apparel, is recalling 225,000 pairs of its Jordan Trunner LX and Jordan Trunner 2000 cross-training shoes that can cut the wearers, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The shoes have a thin metal strip of about 4 inches long at the upper part of the back of the shoe that can protrude, the agency said. Nike has received 16 reports of consumers receiving cuts to the lower legs, in some cases requiring stitches.

Consumers are asked to stop using the shoes immediately and return them to the store for a substitute product or a store credit.
