Crocs Banned from Hospital – Again.

Crocs have been banned from a Stockholm, Sweden Hospital. Apparently Crocs were suspected in generating static electricity which caused problems with some of the medical equipment. Thankfully nobody was hurt in incident. This problem with static electricity in the hospital has been going on for a number of years, but has increased in the recent months thought to be caused by the increase in the number of hospital workers wearing Crocs.

We reported earlier where a hospital in the US banned Beach and Cayman Crocs because the holes caused a health risk.
