Plain-English summary

Trimfoot Co. LLC. is recalling First Impressions high-top, soft-soled sneakers for infants that are crawling or standing. The recalled shoes feature blue denim soles and uppers, brown canvas tongues, tan shoe laces, and white polyurethane toes. Each upper contains eight 3/16-inch eyelets for the laces, and the shoes were available in sizes 0, 1, 2, and 3. The style number 42090 is located on a cloth tag inside the shoe.

The recall is due to a choking hazard, as a small metal eyelet can detach from the inside of the sneaker.

No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
