July 21 (Reuters) - Brown Shoe Co Inc (BWS.N) will recall a total of 1.4 million units of China-made Buster Brown & Co clog children's shoes on concerns the footwear's decorative wheels could detach, posing a choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

About 73,000 pairs were recalled in April, the commission said, adding that no injuries have been reported.
