Around 87,000 children's clothes sold between November 2021 and August 2022 are under the radar for a nationwide Disney Clothes recall. The Disney-themed clothing sets are being recalled over lead-hazard concerns. The move comes after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a notice for a nationwide recall.
The recalled products were produced by the Bentex Group, a leading apparel manufacturer in the United States. After a thorough investigation last November, the CPSC found that the ink used to paint the recalled clothes contained lead levels beyond the minimum allowed limits. Lead levels exceeding both the Federal Lead Paint Ban and the Federal Lead Content Ban led to a nationwide Disney Clothes recall notice issued on November 23.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a notice for the Disney Clothes recall soon after.
"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."
Expressing concern over the adverse effects of the affected clothes under the Disney Clothes recall, the CPSC further said,
"Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues."
Customers are advised to separate the affected clothing from their children at the earliest. All clothing included in the Disney Clothes recall can cause serious health issues for children, so parents must maintain vigilance and seek medical assistance if they see something wrong with their children.
