Bentex recalls children's clothing due to lead paint

Lead paint that exceeds federal levels has led to a recall of 87, 000 children's clothing sets from The Bentex Group of New York.

 

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the textile ink on the clothing exceeds either the federal lead paint ban or the federal lead content ban, posing a lead poisoning hazard. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can lead to adverse health effects.

 

No injuries have been reported.

 

Nine Disney theme styles are in the recall.  The clothing sets were sold at TJMAXX, DD's/Ross, Burlington, Army & Airforce Exchange Service and other stores nationwide and online at www.amazon.com from November 2021, through August 2022.

 

Bentex says customers hould stop wearing the clothing and contact the company for details on how to return or dispose of the closthing and get a refund.

 

Consumers may contact Bentex at (800) 451-0285 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET) 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 and click on “Recall” at the top of the page for more information.
