What was recalled

This recall involves black jeweled girls' boots. The boots have a silhouette of a guitar on the outer leg and a guitar-shaped zipper pull on the inner leg.

No other styles or models are involved in this recall.

Hazard

The guitar-shaped zipper pulls on each boot can interlock while a child is walking, causing the child to trip and fall.
