Payless Clog Shoes Recall Expanded

July 17, 2007
Payless ShoeSource is expanding its recall of children's clog shoes because of a choking hazard.

The latest recall affects about 270,000 pairs of shoes; about 690,000 clogs were recalled on May 2.

Plastic rivets used to attach the strap to the shoe can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.

This recall involves the following character-themed clog styles: Dora the Explorer, Spongebob Squarepants, Hello Kitty, Coasters® Lighted Car Compel, and Cambridge Mary-Jane. The shoes were sold in toddler sizes 5 through 10. The flexible shoes have air ventilation holes on the top and/or side, and plastic rivets attached to the strap. Shoe sizes are printed on the sole of the shoe. No other sizes, styles or models are included in the recall.

The shoes were sold at Payless ShoeSource stores nationwide and Payless.com from January 2006 through June 2007 for between $15 and $20. They were made in China.

Consumers should take the shoes away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund or exchange.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, call Payless at (800) 654-0697 between 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday. Consumers can also visit the firm's Web site at www.payless.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
