Careful with those Crocs

He was wearing footwear called Crocs when his foot got caught in a Tyson's Galleria Mall escalator."He was standing still; his foot wasn't near this edge," mother Jodi McDermott said. "It was (the left side) of the shoe, so it pulled and twisted the shoe in. It pulled the big toe over and it essentially ripped the toenail off except for one little corner. That's where all the blood was from."

The doctor confirmed the boy's big toenail had been ripped off almost completely. "When we got to the hospital, they said this is actually a common occurrence with Crocs," McDermott said. She said she went online and found other reports of accidents similar to the one that happened to her son.
