Yes, fake crocs are still choking kids. Payless has expanded the recall of the shoes designed to look like the shoes that many people love to hate. This time it's the character-themed croc-offs: "Dora the Explorer, Spongebob Squarepants, Hello Kitty, CoastersĀ® Lighted Car Compel, and Cambridge Mary-Jane." Hey, I'd recall Dora anything just for making me sing, "I'm a map, I'm a map..." all damn day.
The rivet on these shoes is a choking hazard, so take 'em back or toss 'em. By the way, I'm still bitter at the real crocs folks for messing up my kid's order for shoes three times and having completely unresponsive customer service. But maybe they've fixed that by now. I dunno: my kid had moved on to flip-flops.
