Federal regulators say the zipper pull can get tangled which can cause someone to fall.

The manufacturer, Synclaire Brands U.S.A. has received 3 reports of the zipper pulls becoming entangled to each other, including one injury that occurred when a child wearing the boots attempted to untangle the zipper pulls. The child lost her balance and hit her head on the sidewalk. She needed stitches on her forehead.

What To Do

Consumers should immediately take the boots away from children and return them for a full refund. The boots were sold at Bloomingdale's, Belk Stores, TJ Maxx nationwide and online at Zappos from September 2011 through February 2013 for about $65.
