Nordstrom Recalls Girls' Shoes

March 17, 2009
Nordstrom is recalling about 31,000 pairs of girls' shoes. Surface paint on the outer sole of these shoes contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The recall includes six styles of Nordstrom-brand shoes for girls. “Clarice-Fab” flats are bone colored with a bow. “Eva-Fab” are bone colored T-strap sandals. “Fern-Fab” are ankle strap sandals sold in bone, pink, white, blue polka-dot or pink polka-dot. “Lilly-Fab” are fuchsia gingham ballerina flats with a bow. “Rita-Fab” are ankle strap dress shoes sold in ivory linen, pink linen, white linen, cafe satin, silver satin or white satin. “Vivi-Fab” are open-toe dress shoes in bone, white, green polka-dot, lavender polka-dot or yellow polka-dot.

The shoes were sold in girls’ sizes 10 through big-kids 7. All shoes have an embossed “NORDSTROM” printed on the insole. Only the colors identified above are subject to the recall.

The shoes, made in China, were sold at Nordstrom stores nationwide from September 2006 through February 2009 for between about $35 and $45.

Consumers should take the recalled shoes away from children immediately and return them to any Nordstrom store for a full refund or exchange.

For additional information, call Nordstrom at (800) 804-0806 between 7 a.m. and 1 a.m. ET any day, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.nordstrom.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
