Nearly 90,000 Disney-themed pajamas are being recalled over fears they could poison children.
Textile ink painted on the clothes contained dangerous levels of lead - which if ingested may lead to serious health issues.
The Bentex Group - based in New York City - has pulled around 87,000 items which were made in Egypt but sold at several major retailers nationwide, including TJ Maxx, DD’s/Ross, Burlington and Amazon.
Parents are being urged to 'immediately' take the clothing away from children and dispose of them, before replying for a full refund.
There have been no reports of injuries yet, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
High levels of lead exposure in children can cause irreversible brain damage, comas, convulsions and even death, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
