Nordstrom Recalls Girls’ Shoes

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

According to a press release from The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Nordstrom has voluntarily recalled six styles of Nordstrom-brand girls’ shoes (girls’ sizes 10 through big-kids 7):

Clarice-Fab: bone-colored flats with a bow

Eva-Fab: bone-colored t-strap sandals

Fern-Fab: ankle strap sandals sold in bone, pink, white, blue polka-dot or pink polka-dot

Lilly-Fab: fuchsia gingham ballerina flats with a bow

Rita-Fab: ankle strap dress shoes in ivory linen, pink linen, white linen, cafe satin, silver satin or white satin

Vivi-Fab: open-toe dress shoes in bone, white, green polka-dot, lavender polka-dot or yellow polka-dot

Surface paint on the outer sole of these shoes contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

About 31,000 units of these shoes, made in China, were sold at Nordstrom stores nationwide from September 2006 through February 2009 for between about $35 and $45.  No injuries had been reported when the release was written earlier today,  March 17.

Remedy: Consumers are being told to take the recalled shoes away from children immediately and return them to any Nordstrom store for a full refund or exchange.

For additional information, call Nordstrom at 1-800-804-0806 between 7 a.m. and 1 a.m. ET any day, email Nordstrom at contact@nordstrom.com or visit www.nordstrom.com.
