Target recalls Cherokee boys' and Circo girls' belts due to excessive lead in buckles. Return to store for full refund.
The belt buckles contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.
Target is recalling two types of children's belts because the buckle hardware contains lead levels that violate federal safety standards. This could pose a health risk to children who might ingest the lead.
The belt buckles contain lead levels above the federal safety limit. Children may put the buckles in their mouths, leading to lead poisoning which can cause developmental delays and other health issues.
Children who own the recalled Cherokee boys' belts (black/brown, reversible) or Circo girls' belts (pink/white, heart buckles) are affected. Young children are at highest risk due to potential lead ingestion.
Check for Cherokee belts: black/brown reversible with heavy stitching in sizes M-XL, with embossed numbers 202/08/0018-0020. Check for Circo belts: pink/white with heart buckles in sizes XS-L, with embossed numbers 202/05/0071-0074.
Immediately stop using the recalled belts as they contain lead levels that violate federal safety standards.
Take the belts to any Target store for a full refund.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled belts and return them to any Target store to receive a full refund.
