A recall has been issued for some Disney-themed DIS, children's clothing sets because of a lead-poisoning hazard.
The Consumer Safety Products Commission CSPC said that the recall involves Bentex children's clothing sets in nine different Disney styles, including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. The recalled sets were listed on the commission's website.
The CSPC said that the textile ink painted on the recalled clothing sets contains levels of lead that exceed either the federal lead paint ban or the federal lead content ban, posing a lead poisoning hazard. Lead can cause health problems if ingested by young children. The items were sold at T.J. Maxx TJX, DD's Ross ROST, Burlington BURL and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com AMZN from November 2021 to August 2022 for between $5 and $25, according to the CSPC. Consumers are advised by the CSPC to 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 CSPC said Bentex can be reached at 800 451-0285 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, by email at recall bentex.com or online at www.bentex.com. com.
