Wal-Mart removed baby bibs containing dangerously high levels of lead from store shelves nationwide yesterday, a store official told the Associated Press.
The Baby Connection bibs, constructed from PVCs, had already been removed from Wal-Marts in New York, California, and Illinois on March 29 after a study conducted by the New York attorney general’s office.
Wal-mart agreed to stop selling all bibs made from PVCs as soon as possible, the New York attorney general’s office said.
