H&M Announces Recall of Girls' Water Shoes for Fall Hazard

Reported: June 13, 2006 Initiated: June 13, 2006 #06186

Product Description

These are pink and blue shoes with a multi-colored trim. The shoes have a pink rubber sole with silver glitter incased within it. A butterfly appliqué is attached to the top and flower emblems are on the back and sides. A label inside the shoes reads "364430" and "MADE IN CHINA."

Reason for Recall

Though these shoes are marketed for use around water for traction, they become extremely slippery when wet. This poses a risk of slipping and falling on smooth, hard surfaces, such as tile.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these shoes and immediately return them to any H&M store for a full refund.
