Birkenstock Kids' Mogami Sandals Recalled for Choking Hazard

Birkenstock USA has recalled Kids' Mogami Sandals in sizes 24-28 because a plastic rivet can detach from the ankle strap, posing a choking hazard for young children. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a choking hazard for young children (ages up to 3), which is a high-risk scenario. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard is not merely theoretical—an identified component (the plastic rivet) can detach. Choking hazards for infants and toddlers warrant a High severity rating under the rubric.
