Crayola Boots for Toddlers Recalled

A Florida company is recalling nearly 38,000 pairs of toddler boots with the Crayola brand name because a toggle on the laces poses a choking hazard to children. BBC International Ltd. of Boca Raton, Fla., distributed the boots--manufactured by Rallye Footwear Inc. of Canada--and recalled them in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The boots, sold in sizes 6 through 10, come in styles for girls and boys. The toggles are meant for tightening the laces but are dangerous if they become detached, the company said. No injuries involving the toggles have been reported, the commission said. Consumers can return the boots to the place of purchase for a refund.
