The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of about
12,200 pairs of Coleman Runestone Style children's shoes sold
exclusively at Big 5 Sporting Goods. The shoes were made by Eastman
Footwear.
The agency said the metal rivets surrounding the holes
where the shoestring is secured
on the shoes can have sharp edges, posing a laceration hazard. Eastman
Footwear received one report of an adult who scratched or cut his
finger. No medical attention was required.
The Runestone children's shoes are black with gray mesh fabric panels on
the side of the shoe with a green “Coleman” logo name and lantern
graphic on the tongue. The black shoestrings on the shoes are threaded
through green fabric tabs on the top of the shoe. A label located on
the inside of tongue of the shoes identifies the style as Runestone. They sold for $39.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shoes and return
them to a Big 5 Sporting Goods store for a full refund or contact
Eastman Footwear for instructions on returning the shoes for a refund.
Consumer Contact: Eastman Footwear at (800)786-0282 ext. 301 from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at
