Plain-English summary

Kidz Concepts, the owner of the Lilly of New York brand, is recalling approximately 3,200 children's winter boots due to a violation of the federal lead content ban. The boots' soles contain levels of lead that exceed the legal limit. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.

They are available in children's sizes 5 through 10 in four color/style combinations: Aqua (53325), black with glitter (53323), black with green (53317), and purple with black (53324). The boots feature a Velcro closure and rubber soles, with the brand name and style number located on the inside of the shoe's tongue.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with these boots. Consumers should immediately take the recalled boots away from children. They can contact Lilly of New York for a full refund or a free replacement product of similar value. Zulily is also contacting all known purchasers directly.
