Buster Brown & Co. has announced a recall of "Cars"-themed children's plastic clog shoes, sold at Wal-Mart, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). About 73,000 shoes were sold in the United States and 18,000 in Canada.
The shoe has four decorative wheels that can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. Buster Brown & Co. has received one report of a wheel detaching from the shoe but no reports of injuries.
The recalled shoe is modeled after a character from the Disney-Pixar film, "Cars." The red plastic clog looks like a car and is lined inside with black fleece. They were sold in infant sizes 4 to 6 and toddler sizes 7 to 11. The infant-size shoes have a strap in the back. Each side of the shoe has two red and black decorative wheels and the number “95”. The words “Buster Brown & Co.” and “Disney” are printed on a tag sewn inside the shoe.
The shoes were sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores in the United States and Canada from September 2008 through March 2009 for between $6 and $10 in the United States and for about $13 in Canada. They were made in China.
What you can do:
• Immediately stop using the shoes and return them to any Wal-Mart for a full refund.
