      Walmart Flipflops Continue To Chemically Burn Wearers

      By Ben Popken, 2:45 PM on Thu Aug 30 2007, 11,906 views
      A North Texas woman says her Walmart flipflops gave her a nasty and painful rash, the same as Kerry's from Florida, whose injured feet we featured on The Consumerist.

      Like Kerry, Walmart told her to file a complaint with the Chinese manufacturer of the bargain sandals.

      In response to Fox4's inquiry, Walmart said, "Product safety is a top priority at Wal-Mart and we are taking this report very seriously. Of several million of this product sold, we have had only a few similar claims."

      Oh, ok. The sandals only caused long lasting and severe rashes on a few people. We'll take the matter "very seriously"...after beach season is over.
