Two
separate recalls have been issued for products for children that may pose a
lead poisoning hazard.
Bentex is
recalling children's clothing sets in nine different Disney themed styles. The
clothes violate of the federal lead paint and lead content ban. The clothes
were sold at T.J. MAXX, DD's/Ross, Burlington, Army & Airforce Exchange Service and other stores nationwide, and online at Amazon from November 2021 through August
2022 for between $5 and $25.
Consumers
should 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.
Also due to
a lead poisoning hazard, Green Sprouts has recalled toddler's stainless steel
bottles and sippy cups and sip and straw cups. They say the bottom
base can break off, exposing a solder dot that contains lead, posing a lead
poisoning hazard to the child. Lead is toxic if ingested by young
children, and can cause adverse health effects.
The firm
has received seven reports of incidents of the bottles' base breaking off
exposing the solder dot. No injuries have been reported. The items were sold at
Buy Buy Baby and Whole Foods stores nationwide and online at Amazon and Bed
Bath & Beyond.
from
January 2020 through September 2022 for between $14 and $19.
