Urgent product recall on popular $16 Best & Less item: 'Risk of choking'
Best & Less has issued a product recall on a popular children's item due to the risk of serious injury or death from choking. Toddler Light Up Clogs, which are a budget-friendly dupe of Crocs, have been recalled following an incident involving the battery.
The shoes are available in both pink with a star light and khaki with a dinosaur light. They are sold in store and online for $16 and have a five-star rating on Best & Less's website.
ACCC has reported that the product may not comply with the mandatory standards for products containing button/coin batteries. The light component can detach from the shoe and release small parts, including the battery.
