    Only in Florida - Sandals Causing Burns, Walmart Pulls Them From Shelves

    posted in modern madness |

    For some reason these things only happen in Florida….

    “Walmart says it has pulled thousands of cheap sandals that had of customers complaining about painful, lingering rashes, WFTV in Florida reports.

    Kerry Stiles, whose graphic website about her raw and peeling feet first broadcast the issue, says she has received over 140 complaints from similarly afflicted Walmart flipflop buyers. Two months after getting injured, Kerry’s feet are still “raw and tender.” Walmart says they’re going to test the sandals. So is Kerry, as she is thinking about a lawsuit.”

    It sounds like to me that by shopping at Walmart, you are risking your life with lead filled chinese products, and now sandals that are so acidic they burn… I guess if you want cheap, this is the risk you are going to have to take. It comes with the territory, like when I go yard sale and garage sale hopping on the weekends, you never know whether the people selling their goods are serial killers or sadistic or evil minded freaks…. they could have cursed all of their household items so that whoever buys them dies a horrible death…

    Remember, an old Chinese proverb states - you get what you pay for.
