Target Recalls 211,000 Cat & Jack Sandals Over Choking Hazard

3 articles · Updated · abcnews.com · Jul 16

Summary

  • Target and the Consumer Product Safety Commission said 211,000 Cat & Jack Toddler Girls' Sequerah sandals are being voluntarily recalled because decorative pearls can detach and create a choking hazard.
  • Target has received 23 reports of pearls falling off the sandals, though no injuries have been reported.
  • The recalled tan sandals—with two raffia straps, plastic pearls and gold buckles—were made in Cambodia and sold for about $22 at Target stores and online from January through May 2026.
  • Customers should stop using the sandals and keep them away from children; Target is offering refunds in stores or by mail and has posted recall details online and through its customer service line.
