Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Stride Rite is recalling about 7,500 pairs of "Joanna" girl's sandals because a metal flower on the top of the shoe can detach. There have been 17 reports of the flowers loosening or detaching completely. The sandals were sold in white and brown in girl's sizes 8.5 through 10. Consumers should immediately take these shoes away from children and contact Stride Rite for a full refund in the form of a purchase voucher.

Risk

The metal flower on the shoe's strap can break off or loosen, creating a small part that a young child could choke on if they put it in their mouth.

  2. Check the underside of the front shoe strap for the name "Joanna" and style number CG40723 (for white sandals) or CG40725 (for brown sandals) in girl's sizes 8.5 through 10.
  3. Verify the brand by looking for "StrideRite" printed on the bottom of the shoe.
  4. Contact Stride Rite at 800-365-4933 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email JoannaReturns@striderite.com to request a prepaid envelope to return the shoes.
  5. Return the shoes using the provided envelope to receive a voucher for the purchase price, which can be used at Stride Rite stores or online at striderite.com.
