If your little ones have any Disney-themed clothes in their closet, listen up: more than 80,000 individual pieces of Disney character clothing could pose a lead poisoning risk and are now part of a recall.
You probably didn’t know the textile ink used to create the character illustrations has lead in it. It does, and the recalled clothing items had levels of lead that exceed federal standards.
We’ll tell you which items of clothing have been recalled, what to do if you have affected products, and how to get a refund on the Disney clothes recall.
There’s a Disney clothing recall due to unsafe levels of lead in the textile ink.
Clothing manufacturer Bentex has issued a recall of an estimated 87,000 units of Disney-themed clothing after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission detected unsafe levels of lead in the Egyptian-made products’ textile ink.
According to the official Disney clothing recall announcement, the ink poses a lead poisoning hazard — if ingested by children, it can cause adverse health issues. As of this writing, no health issues or injuries have been reported.
The recalled clothes were sold at T.J.Maxx, Ross, Burlington & Amazon.
The nine Bentex clothing sets were sold for between $5 and $25 at T.J.Maxx, DD’s/Ross, Burlington, Army & Airforce Exchange Service, and Amazon between November 2021 and August 2022.
Here are the nine sets affected by the recall. To check the item and batch numbers, look at the tags on the clothing neck or side label.
