What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

HIS International is recalling approximately 6,700 denim jumper sets sold exclusively at Kmart stores nationwide from July 2004 to November 2004. The recalled items are made of 100 percent cotton and were sold in three different styles: a long-sleeve bodysuit with a flower appliqué jumper (Style 2814X), a striped turtleneck with a heart pocket jumper (Style 2817X), and a long-sleeve bodysuit with a patchwork jumper (Style 2818X). The sets were sold for about $13.

The recall was issued because the paint on the buttons contains excessive lead levels, which poses a lead poisoning hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should immediately take the denim jumper sets away from children and return them to Kmart for a refund or replacement.
