Are These Zara Wide-Leg Pants Dangerous?

TikTok clips show wearers falling and suffering injuries, while legal experts say the oversized design makes claims against Zara unlikely.

  • Zara's flowy wide-leg pants with ultrawide hems have recently caused numerous falls among customers, with TikTok videos documenting injuries including bruises, scars, stitches and broken bones across streets, parking lots and homes.
  • The pants' ultrawide hems and lightweight, silky fabric make it easy for a person's foot to get caught in excess material while walking or running, creating hazards even when standing still as one wearer's hem caught in escalator teeth.
  • Video clips reveal the extent of damage, showing X-rays of broken bones, cracked phone screens and ripped clothing alongside physical injuries, with one wearer stating "As a tall girl, I thought I was safe from the Zara death pants" before faceplanting in the street.
  • Zara has not publicly addressed the widespread injury reports, and legal experts note consumers are unlikely to have any legal case because the oversized pant dimensions fall into the category of obvious risk.
  • This incident reflects a broader pattern at Zara, whose voluminous list of past controversies includes dead rats in shipments, racist and anti-Semitic design errors, copyright infringement and sweatshop labor allegations.
