Payless ShoeSource is recalling about 90,000 pairs of girls' boots. The guitar-shaped zipper pulls on each boot can interlock while a child is walking, causing the child to trip and fall.
Payless has received five reports of the zipper pulls interlocking, including one report of a four-year-old girl who fell and skinned her knees.
This recall involves black jeweled girls boots. The boots have a silhouette of a guitar on the outer leg and a guitar-shaped zipper pull on the inner leg. Hannah Montana is engraved on the boot outsole and a photo of the singer and shows character is printed on the box. The boots were sold in girls sizes 10 1/2 to 4 1/2 . No other styles or models are involved in this recall.
The boots were sold at Payless ShoeSource stores nationwide and Payless.com from August 2007 through September 2007 for about $27. They were made in China.
Consumers should take these boots away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund or exchange.
