Target is recalling about 211,000 pairs of Cat & Jack children’s sandals after decorative pearls on the shoes can come off and pose a choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The recall covers tan sandals with two raffia straps, gold buckles and plastic pearls sold in sizes 5T through 12T under Target’s Cat & Jack brand. The sandals were sold at Target stores nationwide and online at target.com from January through May for about $20.

Target has received 23 reports of the pearls falling off; no injuries have been reported, the CPSC said. The agency warned the pearls could pose a risk of serious injury or death if swallowed.
Consumers should stop using the recalled sandals immediately, keep them away from children and contact Target for a full refund. Shoppers can return the sandals to any Target store or use a prepaid label to mail them back.
The recall was announced July 16. The importer is Target, of Minneapolis, and the sandals were manufactured in Cambodia. The recall number is 26-629.
Consumers can contact Target toll-free at 800-591-3869 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT daily or visit target.com and click on “Recalls” for more information, the CPSC said.
