Wal-Mart Flip-Flops Cause Chemical Burns

In my ‘Cheap, Chinese-Made Wal-Mart Flip-Flops Cause Chemical Burns’ video, I talk about my experience of discovering how the rash on my foot had been caused by wearing a pair of flip-flops I had purchased at Wal-Mart.

The plastic toxic resins and elastomers* were to blame for the rash (which was actually a chemical burn).

*(An elastic polymer is supposed to keep the flip-flop both flexible and durable.)

And if the chemical burn isn’t bad enough, some of the Chinese flip-flops Wal-Mart sells are decorated using paint containing high amounts of lead.

If you have suffered from chemical burns on your feet due to Wal-Mart flip-flops, you may contact Wal-Mart customer service here: Wal-Mart Feedback & Customer Service

Thankfully, there are flip-flops being sold that are made using quality materials that are safe for your feet.
