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.
