Children’s clothing recall: 87K units of these brands have been recalled for lead paint

Children’s clothing sold at TJ Maxx, Amazon and other retailers is being recalled due to the presence of lead, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The clothing, manufactured by Bentex, featured Disney characters and was sold nationwide at retailers as well as on Amazon between November 2021 and August 2022.

According to the CPSC, 87,000 of the units of clothing are being recalled. Some of the clothing sets had nine different Disney characters as designs, including Baby Yoda and Minnie Mouse.

The designs themselves contained levels of lead that exceeded federal lead paint content standards, which could cause lead poisoning in children.

Bentex announced in an Instagram post that it is urging customers who bought the clothes to take them away from their children, cease using them and contact the company.

“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and appreciate your understanding in this matter,” the company’s post said.
