The hazard report states, “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. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.”

The products were manufactured in Egypt and sold are stores including TJMAXX, DD’s/Ross, Burlington, Army & Airforce Exchange Service, and other stores nationwide. The product was also sold online via Amazon from November 2021 through August 2022.

If you’ve purchased one of these items, it is recommended that consumers take the recalled children’s clothing sets away from children immediately. Bentex is offering a full refund for the returned items, stating that consumers will find each item has a batch number printed on the clothing neck or side label.

Currently, no injuries have been reported.

To seek out batch numbers and for full details on how to reach Bentex for a refund, see the recall notice via The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission website.
