So, I found a super cute Tinkerbell backpack at Target for Elliott.

She opened it yesterday. She LOVED it.

I, on the other hand, am now not so happy with my purchase!
As I was removing the tags, I noticed one of them had a Prop 65 warning on it!

Read more about Prop 65 here.

The materials used to make the backpack can cause cancer and reproductive harm?? I have seen this sign posted in department stores in the housewares section, but ON A CHILD’S BACKPACK?

The thing that irritates me the most is that it is a licensed Disney product. I can understand if it’s a backpack from the dollar store, but $14.99 at Target?

I guess as parents we have one more thing on our plates to worry about while rearing our children. From now on I am certainly going to be more careful…first lead paint and now backpacks that can cause cancer?

Wish I’d have taken a picture of it along with the warning tag, but I immediately banished that thing to the garage and returned it the first chance I got. I couldn’t even donate it to Goodwill in good conscience! 🙁

So parents, please check labels and tags when shopping for your kiddos! I would’ve NEVER purchased this had I seen that teeny, tiny tag in the store!
