Approximately 5,000 Autumn Run brand girls Gemma II style boots are being recalled because an exposed staple in the sole poses a laceration and puncture hazard. One consumer has already reported being punctured by a staple. The recalled boots are brown with a paisley-print fabric sash and a leather beaded strap, sold in girls sizes 5 to 11. They were sold exclusively at Academy Sports + Outdoors stores and online from July 2012 through October 2012 for about $23. Consumers can return the boots for a full refund.
An exposed metal staple in the sole of the boot can pierce through the material and puncture or cut a child's foot. Renaissance Imports has received one report of a consumer who was punctured by an exposed staple in the sole.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled boots from children and inspect the boots for exposed staples. Instructions for inspecting the boots can be found online at www.renimp.com. Boots that are stamped "INSPECTED" on the reverse side of the inside label have been inspected for staples and are not included in this recall. Consumers can return recalled boots to any Academy Sports + Outdoors store for a full refund.
