Khaite Women's High Heeled Sandals Recalled for Detaching Heels and Fall Risk

Khaite is recalling approximately 1,860 women's high heeled sandals from its Spring Summer 2024 collection because the heels can detach, creating a fall hazard. Consumers should stop using the shoes immediately and contact Khaite for a refund.

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: No injuries or illnesses have been reported. The hazard is a detaching heel that poses a theoretical risk of fall injury. This is a voluntary precautionary recall with no confirmed harm, which fits the "Moderate" criterion of low-risk or precautionary recalls.
