Walmart flipflop warning

OK girls - I bought some of these flipflops from Walmart of course not as cheap as they went on clearance in the U.S. I bought them to embellish for myself and my sisters but my first attempt at making flowers to use on my first pair didnt turn out on my embroidery machine because I didnt have the stablizer (like interfacing for embroidery machines) so I used a substitute and they didnt look as professional (of course not) as the picture.  I still have the 3 pairs that I bought but thank God they didnt turn out and I didnt wear them or give them to my sisters.   http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/flipflop.asp  these flip flops had some chemical irritant that caused chemical burns to the feet of the women who wore them for a short period of time. So just a warning be careful if you are thinking about buying flip flops.  I was thinking that they would be good for my sisters to wear to the beach or around the pool.

Please keep in mind that millions were sold and a handful of consumers were affected.
