The clothing is sold at TJ Maxx, Ross, dd’s Discount, Burlington, Army & Airforce Exchange Service, and other stores nationwide and online through Amazon, the public safety warning says. The recall includes about 87,000 pieces of clothing emblazoned with popular characters like Winnie the Pooh, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Grogu/Baby Yoda that were made with textile ink that contain levels of lead that could result in lead poisoning.
