Description
This recall involves black jeweled girls' boots. The boots have a silhouette of a guitar on the outer leg and a guitar-shaped zipper pull on the inner leg. "Hannah Montana" is engraved on the boot outsole and a photo of the singer and show's character is printed on the box. The boots were sold in girls' sizes 10½ to 4½. No other styles or models are involved in this recall.
Hazard
The guitar-shaped zipper pulls on each boot can interlock while a child is walking, causing the child to trip and fall.
Remedy
Consumers should take these boots away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund or exchange.
Incidents and injuries
Payless has received five reports of the zipper pulls interlocking, including one report of a four-year-old girl who fell and skinned her knees.
