Next has recalled Mint Velvet Raya Espadrille Wedge Sandals after the footbed can detach from the heel during wear, posing an injury risk.

Next has recalled Mint Velvet Raya Espadrille Wedge Sandals after discovering a manufacturing defect that poses an injury risk to wearers. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) found that the footbed can become unexpectedly dislodged from the wedge heel during use, potentially causing the wearer to lose their balance and fall.

The affected models are Y79431 and Y79434. The sandals are light tan and brown open-toe wedges featuring a braided jute espadrille mid-wedge heel, an ankle strap buckle fastening, and gold-tone stud detailing. The products fail to meet the requirements of the UK's General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Next has launched a full recall and is actively contacting all customers who purchased the shoes directly. The retailer is arranging full refunds or product replacements. Owners are advised to stop using the sandals immediately and follow the instructions sent by Next, or contact the retailer's customer service team to arrange the return.
