Target is recalling about 122,500 Cat & Jack “Himani” and “Jaren” Toddler Boots due to a choking hazard.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the toggle on the boot can detach from the elastic lace, posing a choking hazard to children.

This recall includes the Cat & Jack “Himani” and “Jaren” toddlers’ boots in sizes 5 – 12. The boots have an elastic lace with a toggle at the top that can be tightened to keep out snow. The “Himani” boots were sold in navy and pink and the “Jaren” boots were sold in olive, black with multi-colored polka dots, pink with multi-colored polka dots, and navy with rainbows. The product’s item number is printed inside the boot shaft.
