Holiday Rattle Baby Slippers

The recalled slippers are decorated with stuffed fabric figures including snowmen, Santa, reindeer, and penguins, and have decorative rattles inside the slippers that sound like bells when shaken. Item number 999526 is printed on the back of the cardboard header card packaging. “Find Your Joy” is printed on the front of the slippers packaging. The affected baby slippers were sold exclusively at Walgreen stores nationwide from October 2010 through January 2011 for about $5.
