The official distributor of Havaianas flip flops in the Philippines said it pulled out some models of children’s flip flops in the market due to possibly high lead content.
Terry S.A. Inc. said in a statement it pulled out the Havaianas kids styles available in the country after an earlier recall in the US.
According to Ammiel de Leon, brand manager of Havaianas Philippines, the following models cannot be bought anymore in the country: Baby Estampas, Baby Pets, Baby Letrinhas, Kids Lucky Bug, Kids Fun, Kids Surf, Kids Pets, Kids Sports, Kids Monsters, Kids Apple, Kids Fairy, Kids Flores, Kids Lighthouse, Kids Candies, Kids Love, and Kids Rock.
De Leon said the flip flops only come from the Baby and Kids collection. The Havaianas local distributor said it recalled the flip flops as a precautionary measure to ensure public safety.
