Over 85,000 pieces of Disney-themed children's clothing are being recalled due to a risk of lead poisoning.

On Nov. 23, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissioned issued the recall of 87,000 children's clothing sets from Bentex Group.

"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," the CPSC recall read. "Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues."

Affected products were sold at TJ Maxx, DD’s/Ross, Burlington, Army and Air Force Exchange Service and other retail stores nationwide, as well as online at Amazon, between November 2021 through August 2022.

Products included in the recall can be identified by their style and batch number, printed on the clothing neck or side label. The recall includes nine different Disney-themed styles, as outlined with photos in an Instagram post from Bentex Group:
