Children's clothing recalled due to risk of lead poisoning
(CBS DETROIT) - A recall is issued for sets of clothing featuring Star Wars and Disney characters due to a risk of lead poisoning.
Bentex is recalling the children's clothing sets with nine different Disney styles. The styles include Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Disney Descendants, and Grodu, also known as baby Yoda.
They come in both girls and boys clothing. Some sets have leggings, pants, and shorts. Batch numbers are printed on the inside label.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the paint used in the clothing has more lead than is allowed by federal law. Lead is toxic when ingested and can cause health problems, especially in young children.
About 87,000 sets of clothing were sold nationwide from November 2021 through August 2022. The stores that carried them include TJ Maxx, DD's Discounts and The Army & Airforce Exchange Service. They were also sold on Amazon.
Parents should take the clothing away from their child and call Bentex. The company will have information on how to return or dispose of the clothing for a full refund.
