Keds Corp., CPSC Announce Recall of Keds Flexibles Children's Shoes

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Keds Corporation of Cambridge, MA is voluntarily recalling certain Keds Flexibles shoes for infants and young children.

The Keds blue label, located at the heel of the shoe, could separate and be swallowed by an infant, possibly causing serious injury or death. There are no reports of injuries.

The Keds Corporation urges all parents to return the shoes to the retailer where purchased for a replacement pair or a full refund. If the blue label can be easily removed from the heel, parents are urged to do so before the shoes are returned to the store. If the label cannot be removed easily, keep the shoes away from young children until the shoes can be returned. In addition to a refund, Keds will donate one dollar to Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc., for each pair returned by consumers.

The shoes come in three styles: JUMP (high lace), HOP (mid lace), and SKIP (mid velcro). The sole design features jumbled triangles, squares, and circles and comes in six different colors.

Consumers can determine if they have purchased shoes affected by the recall by examining the upper right corner of the underside of the shoe tongue for the model number and designation. If an affected model number is followed by the designation TW-206 or CH-206, the shoes should be returned to the store. Shoes with a US-336 code are not affected by the recall. All other Keds Flexibles are manufactured with a different adhesion process and therefore pose no safety concern.
