Kolan Otter MOMO Children’s Sandals

What went wrong

The notice saysThe inner layer of the recalled sandals contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.

Federal law limits lead in children’s products to 100 parts per million in the material and 90 parts per million in paint and coatings. A recall like this one means testing found more than that. Lead is not visible, so you cannot sort affected pairs by look; match the style and color to the notice.

How this recall compares

• With about 100 units, this is the 95th largest of the 95 footwear recalls in our archive that give a U.S. unit count. The median recall in the archive covers about 7,200 units, so this one is well below typical size.
• 8 other footwear recalls in the archive cite the same kind of hazard (chemicals and lead), 5 of them in children’s footwear. The earliest in this group dates from 1999.
• The notice puts the sales window at about 2 months (March 2022 to April 2022), against a median of 7 months across recalls that state one. The recall came 5 months after the last sale date.
• The notice gives a price of $22 to $26. For sandals, clogs and flip-flops in the archive the typical stated price is about $24, so this pair sat near the middle of its group.
• No incidents were reported before this recall. That is true of 36 of the 95 detailed notices in the archive: firms often recall after their own testing or a supplier finding, not after injuries.
