Track suit
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
EECKEY brand purple track suits with white stitching (article code 10822) have been recalled due to dangerous levels of Hexavalent Chromium detected in the fabric. The suits contained between 2.4 and 19.2 mg/kg of Hexavalent Chromium, far exceeding safety standards. According to Oeko Tex Standard 100, children's clothing should contain less than 1 mg/kg of total chromium and less than the detection threshold of Chromium VI, while other clothing should contain less than 2 mg/kg. The presence of Hexavalent Chromium at these levels poses a serious risk of allergic contact dermatitis, particularly since the track suit contacts skin for extended periods.
The track suits are purple with white stitching, feature a heart design with "ORIGINAL" text on the front, and come in a transparent plastic package. The black swing ticket displays sizing and color information. Authorities in Italy, where the product was identified, have ordered seizure of the product. The recall source does not specify what action affected consumers should take.

The product poses a chemical risk because it contains Hexavalent Chromium, in concentrations varying from 2.4 to 19.2 mg/kg. Given that Oeko Tex Standard 100 states that, to ensure optimum quality, total chromium content should be less than 1 mg/kg for children’s clothing and less than 2 mg/kg for all other clothing, regardless of whether it is in contact with the skin, and that Chromium VI should actually be below the detection threshold, we feel a limit of 5 mg/kg of Chromium VI is a practical threshold beyond which there is a serious risk of allergic contact dermatitis. In support of this, there are clinical studies which indicate that, for leather goods, 50% of sensitive subjects experienced contact dermatitis at this level. By analogy, and given that these articles will be in direct contact with the skin for possibly an entire working day, we believe that they pose a serious risk of allergy to consumers.
