Description
The Snuggle-Up slippers are made of red, blue or aqua fleece fabric, and have a suede sole. The drawcord around the ankle has a barrel toggle to tighten the slipper to adjust the fit. An "LL Bean" fabric label is sewn below the drawcord on the rear of the slipper. "L.L. Bean®" and "MADE IN CHINA" are written on the sole of the slippers. They were sold in sizes XXS (3.5 to 5.5) and XS (6 to 8).
Hazards
The drawcord around the ankle of these slippers can break and release the toggle used to tighten the drawcord. The toggle presents a choking hazard to young children.
Reported injuries
L.L. Bean has received one report of a 12 month-old baby pulling the toggle off of his slipper. No injuries were reported.
Remedy
Consumers should take these slippers away from young children immediately, and return them to L.L. Bean for an exchange or refund.
