Post a CommentThat's too bad, it's a cute top. Thanks for letting us know, Ruth.
Maybe they were made out of lead content water pipes, like the ones some people still get drinking water from. Maybe lead danger is over amplified sometimes?
It's so hard to keep up with the recalls these days. Tumaric and now clothing!
Thanks for the great writing:) Important to know
Thanks R.C. I have to agree with Lorraine, My Michelle is taking the hit here when others are also involved. But maybe they have a way to get their investments back from their decorative trim suppliers.
Thanks for keeping us in the know. cheers ;)
Thank you RC!
Why didn't they recall products put out by the decorative trim people? My Michelle is having to take on the risk of all its suppliers. Not fair, if you ask me...not that government regulators are concerned at all anout 'fair.'
Good catch, it is great to learn of recalls so we can watch out for the safety of our families.
I just bought some size 7 clothing today for our grand-daughter. Thankfully, none of the recalled brands!
