Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 3.6 million Playtex children's plates and bowls have been recalled because the clear plastic layer over the printed graphics can bubble or peel off. Playtex has received 372 reports of this peeling, including 11 reports of children finding plastic pieces in their mouths and four reports of children choking. These white polypropylene products feature various designs like cars, construction, giraffes, princesses, and superheroes, and were sold nationwide at stores like Target and Walmart from October 2009 through August 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these items and contact Playtex for a full refund.

Risk

The clear plastic protective layer can detach from the plate or bowl surface, creating small pieces of plastic that young children can accidentally ingest or choke on.
