Summary

Skidders Footwear is recalling about 5,500 pairs of children's canvas tennis shoes because the metal rivets on the shoes have sharp edges that can cut or scratch a child's skin. The firm has already received three reports of these rivets scratching the feet of children wearing them. These shoes were sold in sizes 12M, 18M, and 24M at Meijer stores in the Midwest between August and October 2016 for about $10. Consumers should immediately stop using these shoes and contact the company for a full refund.

Risk
