The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Mizuno USA, Inc. have announced the recall of 131,000 baseball and softball gloves because some contain a variety of molds that can cause respiratory or other infections in people with chronic health problems or with impaired immune systems.
The Mizuno gloves were sold at Wal-Mart and Target stores from April 2010 through May 2011 and cost between $24 and $60 each.
The state consumer protection commissioner advises consumers to immediately stop using the gloves and contact Mizuno for a full refund. The model numbers and descriptions of the recalled gloves can be found at the state consumer protection department website.
