Girl’s clothing recalled due to risk of lead exposure
By U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Date: April 12th, 2011

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with My Michelle of New York, N.Y., has announced a voluntary recall of about 90,000 girl’s tops of various styles. The tops feature attached jewelry and decorative trim that contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The recall involves girl’s tops and dresses sold in sizes small to extra large, and 7 to 16. The garments were sold in various styles including tops with beaded necklaces attached to the collar and tops with metallic beads attached to the collar. All styles of the tops and dresses have a black tag on the collar with pink print that reads “mymichelle.” These garments were sold at Burlington Coat Factory, Dillard’s, J.C. Penney, Kohl’s, Army and Air Force Exchanges (AAFES), K&G Fashion Superstore and other retail stores nationwide from January 2011 through March 2011 for about $38.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled garments away from children and contact My Michelle for information on receiving a full refund.
