Payless Children's Clog Shoes (choking)

I'm sorry, but why are theses kids trying to eat their shoes?

Everything else, I can understand.

@7livesleft: I believe the little rubber "rivet" holding the strap in place can come off too easily. I think that's the choking hazard.

@7livesleft: This one made me chuckle out loud. A child getting is throat clogged with a clog.

Also...I don't understand why things are still being recalled for lead. All these other reasons are design flaws that may not have been noticed prior (or noticed, and thought to not be a big issue)....but things don't suddenly contain lead. Did a company just figure nobody would notice?

Odds of taking away my daughter's Spongebob Clogs unscathed: 0.

um, a candle is recalled for "fire"? isn't catching on fire kind of a candle's job?

This is a nice post. Can we get this as a regular feature, like the morning deals?

@anatak:
It would be funny them morning deals, then having the items repeated the next deay in the morning recalls.

@AlteredBeast: Yep, pretty much. And American retails either don't double-check or don't care.

@anatak: I agree. This is simple, informative, and not about to spark a giant dramafest about porn or children or racism or victim-blaming... at least I hope not.

I looked up the Candle=Fire hazard because I was curious. Seems like the wick is extra long and tied around cinnamon sticks for aesthetic value. But you're supposed to cut off the cinnamon before lighting the candle.

I don't know whether to say "Duh!" or "Yeah, I probably would have done the same thing. Fire + Cinnamon = Extra smell!"
