Wal-Mart sells "Sand N Sun" flip flops and some consumers report first and second degree burns on their feet after wearing these flip flops.

Investigation and potential class action lawsuit against Wal-Mart for consumer complaints that they have suffered first and second degree chemical burns and blisters on their feet directly underneath the straps of the "Sand N Sun" flip flops sold in Wal-Mart stores across the country. Since September 2007, Wal-Mart has sold over seven million of their Sand ‘N Sun flip flops across the United States.

The Sand 'N Sun sandals have since been recalled, although customers were still reportedly finding the sandals on Wal-Mart shelves. While some reports have speculated that the burns are likely due to people having allergies to the rubber on the sandals, others have reported that there may be a chemical component that is to blame. These flip flops are manufactured in China and it has recently come to light that many retailers selling products from China have been struggling with claims arising from defects in Chinese-made products.
