Target Recalls Mossimo Beaded Sandals Due to Slippery Sole Hazard

Plain-English summary

Target Corporation is recalling approximately 1.2 million Mossimo Beaded Sandals due to a safety hazard. The sandals, which feature beads and shells sewn onto the straps, were sold in beige or brown suede in sizes 5 through 10. The "Mossimo" brand name is engraved on the inner sole, and the size is printed on a clear label on the side.

The recall was issued because the sole of the sandal can become slippery, which may cause the consumer to fall and sustain bodily injury. Target has received 15 reports of incidents involving falls, resulting in nine reported injuries. These injuries include damage to the back, head, and wrist, as well as broken bones and bruising.

The sandals were sold at Target stores nationwide from January 2004 through August 2004 for approximately $10.00. Consumers should stop using the sandals immediately and return them to their nearest Target store for a gift card providing a full refund of the purchase price plus applicable state taxes. For more information, consumers can contact Target at (800) 440-0680 or visit www.target.com.
