Children's clothing sets recalled over high lead levels

The clothing sets were sold at TJ Maxx, Ross, Burlington, Amazon and other stores from November 2021 through August 2022.

WASHINGTON — Children's clothing sets from manufacturer Bentex have been recalled because of dangerously high levels of lead in the textile ink, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

Lead is toxic for young children to ingest and can cause serious health problems. Consumers should immediately take the affected clothing away from kids and contact Bentex for a refund and instructions on how to return or dispose of the clothing.

The sets all featured Disney characters and were sold at stores including TJ Maxx, Ross, Burlington, Army & Airforce Exchange Service and Amazon.com, among other stores nationwide and online, according to the CPSC. 

The items were sold from November 2021 through August 2022 for between $5 and $25, according to a post from Bentex.

Refund information

Consumers can call Bentex at 800-451-0285 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, or send an email to recall@bentex.com.
