What's being recalled

Cha Cha and Cha Cha 2 girls' boots

Units: About 5,000

The Stuart Weitzman brand Cha Cha and Cha Cha 2 boots come in black or white vinyl with quilted nylon shafts and were sold in girls' size 13 through size 5. The boots have zippers with gold-tone SW logo zipper pulls on the inside side of the boots. The model name and size is printed on a white tag inside the top of the boots.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The zipper pulls on the boots can become entangled posing a fall hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

Synclaire Brands has received 3 reports of the zipper pulls becoming entangled to each other, including one injury that occurred when a child wearing the boots attempted to untangle the zipper pulls. The child lost her balance and hit her head on the sidewalk, causing a laceration to her forehead that required stitches.

What CPSC says to do

Refund

Consumers should immediately take the recalled boots away from children and return the boots for a full refund.
