Wal-Mart Shoe Recall

The CPSC has reported recalls of two types of shoes sold exclusively at Wal-Mart.  The first are Buster Brown & Co., CARS fleece clogs for children.  These shoes have decorative wheels on them than can detach easily, causing a choking hazard.  They were sold in infant sizes 4 to 6 and toddler sizes 7 to 11.  Wal-Mart will give a full refund for returned shoes.

 The second Wal-Mart shoe recall involves women’s George brand sling-back, pointed toe shoes, in grey, black or purple, sizes 5 ½ to 11.  These shoes were manufactured by Joyfair Footwear.  The heel of these shoes detaches easily, causing a fall hazard to women wearing them.  The shoes should be returned for a full refund.

Victoria’s Secret Bra Litigation

 On April 8, 2009, the AP reported that litigation over injuries allegedly related to Victoria’s Secret bras is heating up.  The claims involve burn, rash and scarring injuries caused by the possible release of formaldehyde resins in the bras.  Cases are currently pending in Federal courts in four states, and a motion to consolidate the cases into a Multi-District Litigation proceeding has been filed.  Limited Brands, Inc., the parent company of Victoria’s Secret, has defended the safety of its products.
