Hurt, no treatment Made Jul 22, 2013, sent to the company Jul 30, 2013, published by CPSC Aug 20, 2013
The product, in the report: Scalloped Bow Sandal by Baby Gap Product overview: Faux-leather upper. Scalloped trim at foot strap. Decorative bow and buckle detail with hook & loop fastened ankle strap. Padded footbed.
On July 4th I put shoes I purchased from The Gap on my 1 year old daughter. The shoes were entirely in tact when I put the shoes on her. My fiancé and I put my daughter in the car and headed to a friend’s BBQ. Since she is only one, her car seat is still rear facing. Within 10 minutes of being in the car, we heard light choking noises coming from the back seat. We called out my daughter’s name but received no response. Within another second or two, we heard more light noises so I took my seatbelt off and jumped into the back seat. My daughter was able to pull the small leather bow off of the sandal and put it in her mouth. It was lodged in her throat and she was not able to breath. I stuck my finder down her throat and was thankfully able to remove the bow and she began breathing again. She was very traumatized by this incident however, within 15-20 minutes she was acting like her usual self. We did not seek medical treatment because she wasn’t acting hurt or having any further trouble breathing. I feel this product is very unsafe and shouldn’t be sold by The Gap. I did contact the Gap and was asked to ship the sandals back to them and they’d issue me a refund for the sandals.
