Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), NIKE USA Inc., of Beaverton, Ore., is voluntarily recalling about 110,000 pairs of infant's shoes sold under the name "Little Air Jordan XIV." NIKE testing determined the red trim paint on these shoes contain amounts of lead that exceed Federal standards for children's products. Prolonged exposure to high levels of lead presents a poisoning hazard to young children.
NIKE has received one consumer complaint regarding the shoe and possible ingestion of a paint chip.
The NIKE Little Air Jordan XIV shoes come in white with red painted trim, and were sold in children sizes 2C through 10C. The word "JORDAN" is on the outside tongue of the shoe. The shoes have model number 132549 102. The model number is located on the label on the inside tongue of the shoe, above the UPC code. Major athletic shoe stores and department stores nationwide sold these shoes from January 1999 through March 1999 for about $40.
Consumers should immediately take the NIKE Little Air Jordan XIV shoes away from children and return them to the store where purchased to receive a substitute product or a store credit. For more information about the recall, consumers should call NIKE at (800) 344-6453 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. PST Monday through Friday.

The recalled baby nests violate the safety requirements of CPSC’s Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products, posing a suffocation risk and fall and entrapment hazards to infants. The failures include not having a stand and not meeting the requirements for side height, sleeping pad thickness, and fabric-sided openings. The product’s sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped.
Additionally, the baby nest designs with head pillows violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021’s ban on inclined sleepers for infants because their sleep surfaces are inclined greater than ten degrees. Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.
