So I guess there haven’t been enough Crocs-related accidents to justify shutting them down. Only 77 escalator entrapment incidents reported in the US and 65 in Japan. A three year old girl got “severely and permanently” injured when her tiny pink Crocs clog got caught in a JFK escalator maiming her toe. Undoubtedly, there are a lot more cases that never made the news, yet millions of Crocs continue to be sold and exported. But instead of banning these hazardous sandals, they give us escalator safety tips. How many more little mangled feet will it take to take Crocs off of the market? Don’t get Croc Attacked, get even!

You’ve heard me bash Crocs on more than one occasion, so you know my stance on the subject… nuff said.
