Children’s clothing sets recalled over excess lead levels, poison hazard
Recalled children's clothing (CPSC)
Nearly 90,000 children’s clothing sets sold at major retailers have been recalled because the ink painted on them contains unsafe levels of lead that could poison kids.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recall involves Bentex children’s clothing sets in nine different Disney-themed styles. The sets were sold at TJMAXX, DD’s, Ross, Burlington, Army & Airforce Exchange Service, and online at Amazon from November 2021 through August 2022. They cost between $5 and $25.
The CPSC says lead levels that exceed the federal lead content ban pose a poisoning hazard. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled children’s clothing sets away from children and contact Bentex for instructions on how to return or dispose of the recalled clothing to receive a full refund.
The clothing sets were manufactured in Egypt.
