I just saw that one today. I can't believe there is even lead in cloths. My kids have a ton of Children's Place cloths. I get them at the garage sales and consignment shops here. I hope it was just those one pjs, but it seems like if it is in one thing, it is going to show up in more.

This is so :censored: crazy. I already pay top dollar for my kids food and bath products and toys, now I have to worry about the cloths too:hairpull:

I wonder how they get lead in clothes. Seriously, I'm starting to think that everything is poisonous!

Ug- thanks for sharing that!

HOLY :censored: CANOLI!!!!

Just had a small panic attack when I saw this message - I buy almost ALL of Madaline's PJ's from the Children's Place - and like Katey said - I worry about food, toys, and bath products - the last thing I wanted to have to worry about was where/what I was buying for my kiddlet to wear.

SHAME ON YOU CHILDREN'S PLACE! :angry7:

No kidding, this is getting way out of hand. Thankfully, I've never bought pj's from TCP, but I did get Brenna's winter coat and several outfits there. Guess I'm going to have to watch that even closer.:hissyfit:
