Baby shoes - Baby-Schuhe

  • Brand NKD

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

NKD brand baby shoes (Article No. 1542158, size 3-6 months) have been recalled due to unsafe levels of a chemical plasticizer in the artificial leather. The shoes contain 23% by weight of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a substance limited to 0.1% by weight. Because babies regularly put objects in their mouths and may chew on shoes, direct contact with and potential mouthing of the contaminated artificial leather strip that runs around the shoe's circumference poses a chemical risk.

The shoes are dark blue with white and blue stripes, red heel seam, red and blue embroidered circle motif on the side, white textile lining, and a white textile sole with plastic protrusions. The notifying country is Germany. The source document does not specify what affected consumers should do to remedy this recall.

Hazard

The product poses a chemical risk because the artificial leather contains 23% by weight (limit: 0.1% by weight) of bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). With baby shoes, a regular contact of the child with the parts that contain the plasticiser, and even a mouthing contact, is foreseeable. Babies regularly take objects into their mouth and may suck on shoes or textiles.
