Bentex Recalls Children’s Clothing

By

Recently, the company Bentex recalled children’s clothing after a violation of the Federal Lead Paint and Lead Content Ban was discovered. The clothing presents a lead poisoning hazard to children: the ink painted on the recalled clothes contains lead levels that exceed the federal standards, presenting a lead poisoning danger to children. Lead can be toxic, so it is crucial to check whether your children’s Bentex clothing has been affected. If your child was made sick by Bentex children’s clothing, you should call the trustworthy Chicago product liability lawyers of the Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in product liability lawsuits with which we’ve been involved.

Young children can suffer lead poisoning if they are exposed to lead beyond a certain level and face serious medical harm. Bentex recalled around 87,000 units of its clothes on November 23, 2022. Recalled clothes were printed with 9 different Disney themes. Their item and batch numbers can be found on the neck of the clothes or their side labels.

Recalled clothes included:

  • Infant girls’ polyester 2-piece set printed with Minnie Mouse and white and yellow flowers through size 18;
  • 2-piece sets for toddler girls that are printed with Minnie Mouse and gray shorts with black polka dots and Minnie Mouse heads;

The affected Bentex clothing was sold for between $5-$25 at Ross, TJMAXX, Burlington, Airforce Exchange Service, and other retailers, including online retailers like www.amazon.com from November 2021 – August 2022. Bentex has advised consumers to remove the recalled clothes from children and contact the company for information about how to return the clothes or dispose of it, in order to get a full refund.
