Target recalls 200,000 children's sandals over potential choking hazard: CPSC

Target is recalling more than 200,000 children’s sandals over the potential risk of “serious injury or death” from a choking hazard. About 211,000 Cat & Jack Toddler Girls’ Sequerah Sandals are affected by the recall, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Thursday. The choking hazard concern is due to the possibility of decorative pearls falling off the shoes. “The sandals’ decorative pearls can fall off, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a choking hazard,” the CPSC said. The sandals are tan and have two raffia straps with gold buckles and plastic pearls. The brand name is printed on the soles and bottoms of the shoes. The shoes were sold in sizes 5T through 12T. The sandals were sold at Target stores across the country and online at the retailer’s website from January 2026 through May 2026 for about $20. Target has received 23 reports of pearls falling off the shoes. No injuries have been reported so far with the recall. Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled sandals immediately, keep them away from children and contact Target for a full refund.
