Stride Rite Recalls Girl's Sandals Due to Choking Hazard

What's being recalled

The "Joanna" girl's sandals have an ankle strap, three bands and a flower on top. They were sold in white with a silver-colored metal flower and brown with a copper-colored metal flower in girl's sizes 8.5 through 10. The name "Joanna," the style number CG40723 (white shoe) or CG40725 (brown shoe) and the size are printed on the underside of the front shoe strap. "StrideRite" appears on the bottom of the shoe.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The metal flower on the shoe can detach, posing a choking hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

The firm has received six reports of the flowers detaching and eleven reports of flowers loosening. No injuries have been reported.
