Children's Flip Flops
The notice asks people to return it — see below for how.
What’s wrong
Decorative paint on the sole of the flip flops can contain levels of lead in excess of the federal standard.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
