Look Ma, the Escalator Ate My Shoes!

News about Crocs getting caught in escalators and causing harm to their wearers is nothing new. For months now, the news has shown pictures of mangled shoes, toenails, and even toes of children hurt in these incidents. Here in D.C., the Metro even warns against wearing the shoes on escalators. But one government is finally willing to do something about it. Japan is calling for a redesign of the popular shoes after news that 65 injuries took place between June and November of last year, mostly involving small children. [ABC]

Fewer injured children is a good thing � and think of the permanent emotional scarring that comes with a escalator eating your favorite pair of shoes.

BAD NEWS
