Raychy Children's Light Sneakers Unisex

Shenzhen Qicheng Trading Co., Ltd., dba Carina and Rambo

The recalled sneakers violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the lithium coin batteries can be accessed easily by children, posing an ingestion hazard. Additionally, the packaging and product do not have the warnings required under Reese's Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.

Culture Kings Sneaker Basel Double Magnetic Levitation Displays

The sneaker display's magnets can forcefully attract, break, splinter and emit sparks, posing a laceration hazard. In addition, when two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, either accidentally or intentionally, the ingested magnets can attract each other and become lodged in the digestive system. This can lead to perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines that can lead to infection and death.

Brands named most often: Payless ShoeSource (5), Nike (4), Target (4), Brown Shoe (2), JP Boden Services (2), L L. Bean (2), Madewell (2) and Meijer (2), plus 77 more brands. Brand-name products are often made by another firm, so one recall can span several brands.

How do I check if my shoe and footwear is recalled?

Find the model number on the product's rating label, then type it into the model-number lookup on this page. A match means the number appears in an official CPSC notice; open that notice to confirm any date codes or serial ranges it lists. No match is not proof that a product is safe.

What should I do if my shoe and footwear is recalled?

Follow the remedy in the official notice and contact the firm it names. Across shoe and footwear recalls, the remedies offered most often are refund (42), replacement (9) and repair (2).
