Stride Rite recalls Joanna girl's sandals with a detachable metal flower that poses a choking hazard. Affected shoes sold in white and brown sizes 8.5-10 need immediate removal from children.
The metal flower on the shoe can detach, posing a choking hazard.
Stride Rite is recalling girl's sandals called 'Joanna' because the metal flower can detach and cause choking. Parents should stop letting children wear these shoes immediately.
The metal flower on the shoe can detach and become a small object that children might put in their mouth, leading to choking. This hazard occurs because the flower is not securely attached to the shoe.
Parents and caregivers of children who own the recalled Joanna girl's sandals (sizes 8.5-10) are most at risk. Children under age 5 are particularly vulnerable to choking hazards.
Look for the 'Joanna' girl's sandals with a metal flower on top. White shoes have a silver flower and brown shoes have a copper flower. The style number (CG40723 or CG40725) and size are printed on the underside of the front strap.
Take the recalled sandals away from children to prevent choking.
Contact Stride Rite to get a prepaid envelope for returning the shoes and receive a voucher for the purchase price.
