New York-based Madewell Inc. is recalling 50,600 of pairs of women’s sandals — most of which have been sold in the U.S. and 300 of which were sold in Canada — due to a fall hazard.
According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall involves all Madewell Sightseer sandals from the J.Crew owned-company’s spring 2015 collection.
The sandals were sold, from February 2015 to July 2015, in Madewell stores, online at madewell.com and at shopbop.com for between $60 and $80.
Sandals with the following 10 style numbers and names in all sizes are being recalled: (The style numbers are located on a sticker on the outsole of the shoes)
