What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a laceration hazard with one reported minor injury that did not require medical attention, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving low-risk physical hazards.

Plain-English summary

The Eastman Footwear Group Inc. is recalling approximately 12,200 Coleman Runestone Style Children's Shoes. The recall was issued because the metal rivets surrounding the holes where the shoestrings are secured can have sharp edges, posing a laceration hazard. The shoes are black with gray mesh fabric panels and a green Coleman logo on the tongue.

The firm has received one report of an adult who scratched or cut his finger while using the shoes. No medical attention was required for this injury. The shoes were sold at Big 5 Sporting Goods retail stores nationally from January 2013 through December 2013 for about $39.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shoes and return them to a Big 5 Sporting Goods store for a full refund.
