Target has issued a recall of a children’s mask product because it lacks proper ventilation, according to recent news sources.
About 3,400 of the products are subject to recall. The mask is a Children’s Frog Mask that is primarily green and yellow with some red accents. There are two cutouts for eyes and the mask fastens around the childs face with an elastic band that goes across the back of the neck. The code 06626491474 is printed on a tag attached to the mask.
