Clarks Children's Shoes

September 17, 2009
Clarks Children's Shoes is recalling about 2,000 pairs of shoes because molded rubber pieces on the sole can detach, posing a choking hazard to infants and young children.

No incidents have been reported in the United States. In the United Kingdom there have been six reports of the rubber pieces detaching, including two reports of children mouthing the rubber piece. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves Clarks children’s shoes sold under the “crawlers” and “hazy daze” style names. The crawlers were sold in infant sizes 2 to 3 1/2; and the hazy daze in sizes 4 to 6 1/2. “Clarks” is printed on the sole underneath the heel and the words “Clarks First Shoes” is printed on a multi-colored label inside the shoe’s heel area. The following names and model numbers are included in this recall.

	Little Kyle Blue Crawler	89823	Blue with red and black trim
	Little Kyle Tan Crawler	89824	Tan with blue and brown trim

The shoes were sold at Clarks retail stores nationwide from February 2009 through July 2009 for between $35 and $40. They were made in Vietnam.

Consumers should immediately take the shoes away from children and return them to the nearest Clarks store for a full refund.
