Reported risk: This recall involves Dr. Martens unisex Vegan 1460 eight eye boots sold in cherry red with black shoelaces in all sizes. The boots have a chunky sole and a golden heel pull tab with "AirWair" printed on it.

Hazards: Prolonged and direct contact with the boot tongue lining can expose the wearer to the chemical benzidine.
