Brown Shoe volunteers for product recall
22/07/2009
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for about 1.4 million shoes sold at major retailers across the country because of a potential choking hazard.
Brown Shoe, the brand involved, issued a statement saying it is committed to customers’ safety, and though the shoes met the regulatory standards in place for quality testing, it had volunteered to issue a recall notice on a series of models made to look like cars because the wheel component could create a choking hazard among children.
Gary Rich, president of Brown Shoe's wholesale operation, said in the statement: "We have done this voluntarily and we have partnered with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ensure parents have the information they need to return the shoes for a full refund."
