The recall notes the products were sold between July 2020 and July 2021 for $30. It’s estimated that about 13,600 toy kits were sold. The CPSC stated:“The brown trim of the shaving kit bags contains levels of a regulated phthalate that exceed the prohibition of specific phthalates. Banned phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.”The batch numbers included in the recall are as follow:

• 10084/ J06548/ 052020

• 10024/ J06548/ 062020
