What happened

Angel-etts of California Inc. is recalling approximately 170,000 pairs of Gerber-branded infant and toddler sandals sold exclusively at Kmart stores in 1995 because buckles may separate from the straps, creating a potential choking or ingestion hazard. The recalled infant sandals are Model Nos. 55101 (white) and 55103 (brown), priced at $4.99, and the toddler sandals are Model Nos. 59006 (white), 59401 (brown), and 59682 (blue denim), priced at $8.99. Model numbers are printed inside the straps, and all shoes have "Gerber" on the insole.

Angel-etts has received reports that buckles separated from some shoes, and in certain cases a separated buckle was found in a child's mouth, though no injuries have been reported. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should stop using these sandals immediately and return them to any Kmart store for a full refund, or call Angel-etts at 1-(800)-284-6497 for recall information.
