About 131,000 Mizuno baseball and softball gloves are being recalled because some gloves were found to contain a variety of molds that could cause respiratory or other infections in individuals with chronic health problems, or in individuals who have impaired immune systems. The gloves were sold at Wal-Mart and Target stores nationwide from April 2010 through May 2011 for between $24 and $60.
