Why Is This a Concern?
The recall was issued after a sample collected and analyzed by the Maryland Department of Health found elevated levels of lead in the product.
There is no safe level of lead. Children under six years old are especially vulnerable to lead exposure because their brains and bodies are still developing. Many children who are exposed to lead may not look, act, or feel sick. The only way to know if your child has been exposed to lead is by asking your provider for a blood lead test.
What Should You Do?
- STOP using the recalled product immediately.
- Discard the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
- Contact your child’s healthcare provider if you are concerned about possible lead exposure and ask about a blood lead test.
- Questions? Contact Galil Importing Corp at 1-516-496-7400, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM ET.
