Health Canada has issued a voluntary recall of various bibs sold with the following item numbers: 19-1900392, 19-3018618 (CA number on the label is 56069), as testing revealed the bibs' lining contains a phthalate, DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate), over the allowable limit.
Phthalates such as DEHP may cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in young children when sucked or chewed for extended periods.
Although neither Health Canada nor Dollarama has received any reports of incidents or illnesses related to the use of these bibs, customers are advised to dispose of them.
