WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Deckers Outdoor Corp., of Goleta, Calif., is recalling about 65,000 children's Teva sandals. The straps attached to the footbed of the sandals can come apart. This can cause falls.

Writing on the paper label inside the box includes, "Little Kids...Teva ... MADE FOR LITTLE FEET." The sandals were sold in sizes 2/3 through 8/9 for children aged 6 months to 4 years.
