Plain-English summary

Synclaire Brands U.S.A., Inc. is recalling Stuart Weitzman brand Cha Cha and Cha Cha 2 girls' boots due to a fall hazard. The boots feature zippers with gold-tone SW logo zipper pulls on the inside side, which can become entangled with each other. The recalled boots are made of black or white vinyl with quilted nylon shafts and were sold in girls' sizes 13 through 5.

The company has received three reports of the zipper pulls becoming entangled. One of these incidents resulted in an injury when a child attempted to untangle the pulls, lost balance, and hit her head on the sidewalk, causing a laceration to her forehead that required stitches. Approximately 5,000 units were sold at Bloomingdale's, Belk Stores, TJ Maxx, and Zappos from September 2011 through February 2013 for about $65.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled boots away from children. To obtain a full refund, consumers can contact Synclaire Brands U.S.A. at (888) 998-0702 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website at www.synclaire.com and click on recall information.
