Parents, please be aware that the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recently recalled 1.4 million clogs due to a choking hazard risk. The Buster Brown & Co. children’s shoes that fall into this recall consist of the plastic-molded EVA “water” clogs that resemble different characters from “Cars,” “Transformers” and “Barbie.”

Here are a few photos that show some of the recalled shoes:

The shoes in question range in size from 5 to 13 and youth sizes 1-3. They have been sold at major retailers nationwide, including Bealls’, Famous Footwear, J.C. Penney, Meijer, Rack Room, Sears, Shoe Show, Target, and Wal-Mart from August 2007 through June 2009 for $10 to $25.
