Clothing importer Bentex is recalling 87,000 units of nine Disney-themed sets of children’s clothing due to the levels of lead used in paint for the shirts, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday.
“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,” the CPSC recall page reads.
Bentex, based in New York City, sold the Egypt-made clothing from November 2021 to this past August on Amazon and at T.J. Maxx, dd’s Discounts/Ross Stores, Burlington, Army & Air Force Exchange Service, as well as other stores nationwide for $5 to $25.
