Product Recall: Payless Hannah Montana Girls' Boots
Filed under: Decor, Shopping and recalls
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Payless ShoeSource have announced the voluntary recall of about 90,000 pairs of girls' boots. As unlikely as it may seem, the guitar-shaped zipper pulls on the boots can interlock while a child is walking, causing her to trip and fall. They have actually received four reports of this happening, one in which a girl fell and skinned her knees.
The recall involves the boots pictured here, which are black and have a jeweled guitar design on the outer leg and a guitar-shaped zipper pull on the inner leg. The words "Hannah Montana" are engraved on the outsole and a photo is the singer is printed on the box. They were sold in girls' sizes 10½ to 4½ at Payless ShoeSource stores nationwide from August 2007 through September 2007 for about $27.
If your child has a pair of these boots, you should ignore her pleas to keep them and take them way immediately. You can return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, contact Payless at (800) 654-0697 between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. CT daily or visit their Web site.

Meagan said...Or you could just take the little Guitar thinggies off and replace them with a charm that won't catch on its self.

BadHairDad said...Meagan is right. The company suggests that parents take these boots “away from children immediately,” and return them for a full refund or exchange.
BadHairDad suggests you just cut off the offending hooks and avoid products with unnecessary clasps, hooks, ties, belts, clips, purses, ribbons, chimes, ... and guitars.

Sabrina said...I agree with the two previous posters. We're taking boots away from children because someone skinned their knees? If you have a pair of these boots, take the guitar off! Or don't, and just make sure you kid wears kneepads.
