Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Classic Characters is recalling about 4,000 pairs of infant knit Elf Booties sold in sizes 6 through 12 months. The yellow pompoms on the tips of the toes can detach from the shoes, creating a small part that children can swallow. Two reports of these pompoms detaching have been received, though no injuries have been reported. These green booties with red and white trim were sold exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store locations and online for approximately $13.

Risk

The yellow pompoms on the toes of the booties can easily detach. If a young child puts a detached pompom in their mouth, it poses a serious choking hazard.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your infant's elf booties for style number 28046 and SKU number 507665, which are printed on the original price tag.
  2. Verify if the booties match the description: green knit fabric with red and white striped trim and a yellow pompom on the tip of the toe, sized 6-12 months.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled booties and take them away from children.
  4. Return the booties to any Cracker Barrel Old Country Store location for a full refund.
