As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 5, 2021, sent to the company Jan 27, 2021, published by CPSC Feb 10, 2021

    The product, in the report: Camouflage size 10 Toddler Jerrick Light-Up Rain Boots

    My daughter received a pair of rainboots from target for christmas. I put them on her to make sure they fit and shortly after I noticed she had something in her mouth. After further inspection I realized it was a small round metal piece, a rivet that once held the handle on had came off within minutes of her wearing them, as well as the entire handle. It was laying on the floor next to the other rivet!!! Thank God I caught it in time, I’m so dissapointed and a simple refund does not SUFFICE! Why should i have to go out of my way to return them to target when this should have never have happened in the first place!!
