Stance Kids Crew Socks Recalled Due to Choking Hazard

Stance is recalling about 10,800 Kids Reiny Szn Mid-Cushion Crew Socks because bells attached to the socks can detach, posing choking and aspiration hazards to young children.

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: Although the hazard is a choking risk to young children, the source explicitly states no injuries have been reported and no reports of children putting bells in their mouths. The recall is precautionary based on a single report of detachment without actual harm. This meets the criterion for Moderate severity.
