在一系列穿鞋者主要是兒童在使用電動扶梯受傷后，日本的貿(mào)易部已要求制造商Crocs改進鞋的材料和設(shè)計。來自日本的報告顯示，太多的穿鞋者的腳趾卡在電動扶梯的臺階之間或側(cè)邊導(dǎo)致被削減，擦傷，一小部分人斷了腳趾。鞋類制造商回應(yīng)報道說，它已開始改善材料的質(zhì)量。制造商也說，大多數(shù)自動扶梯的意外是人們不小心扶梯使用造成的。

    Japan's trade ministry has asked the manufacturer of Crocs to improve the material and design of the footwear following a series of accidents in which wearers, mainly children, were injured while using escalators.

    Reports from Japan suggest too many wearers were catching the toe of the shoes between the steps and sides of escalators, resulting in cuts, bruising and, in a small number of cases, broken toes.

    The footwear manufacturer responded to reports saying that it had already begun improving the quality of the material. It also said most escalator accidents were the result of carelessness on the part of the people using them.
