What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a lead hazard affecting children's products—a high-risk scenario under the rubric. Although no illnesses have been reported and the hazard is theoretical (contingent on ingestion), lead paint on children's items represents a risk-of-harm product category that meets the High (3) threshold.

Plain-English summary

Native Creation of Seattle, Washington is recalling approximately 170 Native Creation Small Wool Sweaters for children sizes 0 to 8. The sweaters were sold with dark gray, blue, or black as the base color with multi-colored patterns and feature a hood, front zipper, and drawstrings.

The sweaters' zipper pulls contain paint with lead levels that exceed the maximum allowed by federal law. If a young child ingests paint from the zipper pull, the excessive lead exposure can be toxic or cause other health problems.

No injuries have been reported. The sweaters were sold by Native Creation between December 2020 and January 2021 for approximately $29 each. Consumers should immediately remove the recalled sweaters from children and contact Native Creation for a full refund.
