According to a release published yesterday (July 21) by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, children's shoe wear company Buster Brown & Co. announced a voluntary recall 1.4 million pairs of clogs for kids.

The company has specifically focused on car-shaped footwear that features decorative wheels that can detach and possibly choke a child. Although no serious injuries have been reported, Buster Brown reps have received two reports that the wheel fallen off.

Manufactured in China, the shoes were carried at outlets such as Walmart and Amazon.com.

"Brown Shoe is committed to our customers' safety," said the company's president of wholesale Gary Rich in a written statement. "Once we realized that the wheel component could create a choking hazard among children, we volunteered to undertake the recall. We have partnered with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ensure parents have the information they need to return the shoes for a full refund."

Crazy Heels

    Thandie Newton rocked out her darling Matthew Williamson ombre dress with a pair of these nude cut-away ankle boots from the designer's 2010 resort collection.

    Beyoncé poses on the red carpet at the 2009 BET Awards wearing these purple beaded heels that perfectly match the singer's multi-colored Balmain tunic minidress.

    Pop singer Rihanna dressed up her super-laid back Alexander Wang Oversized Sweatshirt Dress and leopard print Lanvin mini pop Leo shoulder bag with these two tone black and yellow Giuseppe Zanotti wedges.

    Fame Pictures

    Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling gets a lesson in catwalking 101 as she teeters out of a London restaurant in a pair of sky-high gold Christian Louboutin heels. Having sold over 400 million copies of her famous books and with the sixth movie in the franchise about to be released, it goes without saying that the former welfare recipient has done quite well for herself. And she's got the shoes to prove it, these puppies cost $1,495!

    Star Power! Rihanna's simple button-down and denim look gets a little extra kick with sleek black booties that are decorated with colorful stars.

    Marion Cotillard added some edge to her chic and polished look with a pair of tribal heels from Christian Dior's spring runway. The shoes feature an African fertility goddess figurine, which begs the question: is there something that you would like to share, Marion?

    Converse sneakers were originally made for basketball players so once again Rihanna is right on trend in a similar high-heeled pair as she takes in the second game of the NBA finals at the Staple Center in Los Angeles.

    While shopping in Vienna, Austria, Beyonce glammed up her casual ripped jeans and white tank with a pair of $1500 Yves Saint Laurent metallic caged boots.

    The queen of crazy shoes rocked these $1,295 Ruthie Davis's platforms from the designers Fall 2009 collection on her way into The Late Show with David Letterman. If you think these bad boys are wild, wait until you see what Beyoncé wore on her way out...

I am in love and his name is Mr. Nature Cleanse http://cli.gs/NatureCleanse ! This is by far the best cleansing product available. I saw it on Oprah and thought I would give it a try. Nature Cleanse has pretty much changed the way I live my life. My daily chores are done in a breeze and I have more energy, not to mention more time in my day since I don't mind jumping out of bed in the mornings at 7:00 am now. This is not just a cleanser. It is also a detox. I can feel it working and have only been using it for 6 weeks.
I owe my life to http://cli.gs/NatureCleanse

Ah-ha! Additionally, a clear sign that someone out there is being paid by "Mr. Cleanse" to make such comments, and conveniently include the link on which to 'click' and purchase! Oldest internet scam going . . .

EXCUSE ME...but I don't see one single pair of shoes in this group I would buy or wear. They are ugly, extravagantly expensive and totally ridiculous. Where are the shoes we REALLY NEED to be putting on our feet for safety, fashion and price? STUPID STUPID UGLY UGLY......
