Livie & Luca Recalls Children's Shoes Due to Laceration Hazard

Agency Publication Date: September 4, 2014

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Livie & Luca is recalling approximately 5,600 pairs of Carta and Cotton style children's Mary Jane shoes. A metal thread inside the shoe's interior liner can loosen and poke through the lining, which has already resulted in one report of a child's foot being cut. These shoes were sold in toddler sizes 4 through 13 at children's boutiques and online retailers between January 2014 and March 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using these shoes and contact the retailer for a replacement or store credit.

Risk

A metal thread used in the construction of the interior liner can become loose and protrude through the fabric. This creates a sharp point inside the shoe that can cause cuts and lacerations to a child's foot during use.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately take the recalled shoes away from children and stop using them.
  2. Check the insole of the shoe for the Livie & Luca logo and a date code printed between 06 2013 and 12 2013 (Month Year).
  3. Identify the style: Carta shoes are solid blue, fuchsia, or gray canvas with a wooden button; Cotton shoes are yellow, green, or red with a dandelion print on a pink square button.
  4. If purchased at a boutique like Ready Set Grow or ZandyZoos, contact the retailer directly for instructions on receiving a store credit or replacement.
  5. If purchased online at livieandluca.com, zappos.com, addyscloset.com, or mylittlejules.com, contact Livie & Luca at (888) 548-5822 or info@livieandluca.com to receive a store credit for a free replacement pair with prepaid shipping.
  6. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 for additional information regarding this recall.
