Crocs - Be aware
If your children wear crocs, please keep an eye on them as they ride escalators. There seem to be numerous cases of crocs getting caught in the "teeth" of the escalator or in between the moving stairs.
According to reports appearing across the United States and as far away as Singapore and Japan, entrapments occur because of two of the biggest selling points of shoes like Crocs: their flexibility and grip. Some report the shoes get caught in the "teeth" at the bottom or top of the escalator, or in the crack between the steps and the side of the escalator.
The reports of serious injuries have all involved young children. Crocs are commonly worn by children as young as 2. The company introduced shoes in its smallest size, 4/5, this past spring.
Something to definitely be aware of as you and your children ride escalators. Read the whole story here.
