Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are warning people to stop using five types of Rossignol cross-country ski boots because the sole could separate from the boot while skiing. Health Canada says the defect could cause skiers to fall.

The recall involves Rossignol X-IUM and X-11 cross-country ski boots sold under the following model names: X-IUM World Cup Skate, X-IUM World Cup Classic, X-IUM World Cup Pursuit, X11 Skate and X-IUM J Skate.

Health Canada says the model name is printed on the upper boot with a five-or six-digit lot number stamped in the right boot under the removable insole.

Ski boots without a lot number printed in the right boot under the removable insole are not included in the recall.

Approximately 936 pairs of the recalled boots were sold in Canada and approximately 1,912 pairs were sold in the U.S. from December 2007 to June 2009.

The boots were manufactured in Romania and imported by Groupe Rossignol Canada Inc., of Granby, Que.
