1.4 million Buster Brown kids' clogs recalled

Kids' shoe maker Buster Brown is recalling 1.4 million pairs of car-shaped water clogs because their decorative wheels can fall off and pose a choking hazard to young children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The Chinese-made clogs were sold at major retailers nationwide from August 2007 until June for between $10 and $25. The shoes are red, brown, blue, yellow, and pink and feature characters from Cars, Transformers and Barbie. Earlier this year a line of the shoes sold at Wal-Mart featuring the Cars characters was recalled.

Consumers are asked to take the shoes away from children and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

For additional information, contact Buster Brown & Co. toll-free at (888) 869-1044 weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Central Times and from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. CT Saturdays, or visit www.busterbrownshoes.com, or email Busterandtige@brownshoe.com.

The shoes were manufactured by Pagoda International Footwear of Hong Kong.
