Clothing manufacturer Bentex is recalling a number of its children’s clothing products over high lead levels.
Bentex sold roughly 87,000 units of various Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and Grogu sets between November 2021 and August 2022, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The ink used to decorate the sets contained amounts of lead that surpassed the federal ban on the toxic material.
