“Honey Bunny” infant terry bibs with pockets are being recalled because they contain phthalates.
According to Health Canada’s press release:
..the front pocket contains DEHP Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) and DBP (Dibutylphtalate) and the back lining contains DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate).
Studies suggest that certain phthalates, including DEHP and DBP, may cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in young children when soft vinyl products containing phthalates are sucked or chewed for extended periods.
These bibs were available in various trim colours and designs. The pocket and back of the bib are made of vinyl material.
You can identify the product by style number BB52 and UPC 773299000524 – however, products with different style numbers and UPC may also present a similar problem.
If you have one of the bibs, then you are advised to stop using it and to throw it away in your regular household garbage.
