Summary

Children's Apparel Network is recalling about 6,200 two-piece fleece hoodie and t-shirt sets because the zipper's surface coating contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint standard. The sets feature Disney characters Snow White, Mickey Mouse, and Cars (Lightning McQueen) and were sold in assorted sizes from 12M to 5T. These coordinated sets were sold exclusively at Target stores and Target.com from October 2011 through December 2011 for about $18. Consumers should immediately stop using these sets and return them to any Target store for a full refund.

Risk

The paint on the metal zipper contains excessive amounts of lead. If a child ingests lead, it can cause toxic effects and serious health problems.
