What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Cat & Jack Children's Sandals?
Cat & Jack Children's Sandals was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The sandals' decorative pearls can fall off, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a choking hazard. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled sandals immediately, take them away from children and contact Target for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to return the sandals to any store or use a prepaid label to return the sandals by mail. Sold at: Target stores nationwide and online at target.com from January 2026 through May 2026 for about $20.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 211,000 units of Cat & Jack Children's Sandals are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
