Washington Shoe Company is recalling approximately 77,400 pairs of Western Chief toddler light-up rain boots because the silver-gray rivets that attach the pull handles to the boot can detach. There have been 115 reports of these rivets or handles coming off, including two instances where children placed the detached rivets in their mouths. The affected boots were sold exclusively at Target stores and Target.com between May 2020 and October 2020. Consumers should immediately stop using these boots and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
The silver-gray rivets used to secure the boot handles can break off or detach during use, creating a small part that poses a serious choking hazard to young children. While no injuries have been reported, children have been found with the detached rivets in their mouths.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled boots, take the boots away from children, and return them to any Target Store for a full refund.
