There have been several consumer recalls over the past couple of days that may affect Deal Seeking Mom readers. Please refer to the links included in each section for more details about the specific recalls:
Girls Tops and Dresses
My Michelle, of New York, NY has announced a voluntary recall of girls tops and dresses because the jewelry and decorative trim attached to the girl’s garments contain high levels of lead.

The tops and dresses were sold in various styles including: tops with beaded necklaces attached to the collar and tops with metallic beads attached to the collar. All recalled tops and dresses have a black tag on the collar with pink print that reads “mymichelle.” The recalled garments were sold at Burlington Coat Factory, Dillard’s, J.C. Penney, Kohl’s, Army and Air Force Exchange (AAFES), K & G Fashion Superstore and other retail stores nationwide from January 2011 through March 2011 for about $38.

Thanks for posting this info. I actually had bought one of those shirts for my daughter at Kohl’s. Can’t believe they put this stuff out first before checking it.
