The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 28,000 children's camouflage pajama sets due to excessive levels of lead in the screen print on the shirt.The pajama sets were sold with long and short sleeved blue shirts with a red screen print that reads "Athletics 90" and a coordinating pant. They were available in boys' sizes XXS (2/3) to XL (14).
The pajama sets were made in Vietnam and sold exclusively at The Children's Place stores nationwide and through The Children's Place online store from December 2006 to January 2008 for between $15 and $17.
If your child has these pajamas, you are advised to immediately take them away and return them to any The Children's Place store for a full refund. For more information, contact The Children's Place at (877) 752-2387 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit their Web site. You may also email the company at customerservice@childrensplace.com.
1. This is a huge story. Excess lead levels in screen print shirts? I'd never heard of anything like that. There are millions of shirts with screen prints being worn everyday. Are the wearers all walking lead carriers? How much is "excess"? I will stop buying shirts with screen prints unitl this is resolved.
