Old Navy Recalls Toddler Girl Aqua Socks Due to Slip and Fall Hazard

What's being recalled

The slip-on shoes have pull-on tabs on both the front and back of the foot opening of the shoe. These Aqua Socks were sold in pink and purple in Toddler sizes 5-11. The recall includes Old Navy Toddler Girl Aqua Socks with style number 896452. A small tag inside the foot opening contains the style number (896452), size information and country of origin (China).

The problem, in CPSC's words

This style of Aqua Socks has less traction when worn on wet or smooth surfaces such as hardwood or tile, creating a slip and fall hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

Two customers reported falls with minor injuries that did not require medical attention.
