Primark Recalls 101 Dalmatians Faux Leather Children’s Coin Purses Due to Phthalate Levels and Risk of Ingestion
Official release from CPSC Recalls, not original reporting. Charges are allegations unless a conviction is stated.
The coin purses contain higher phthalate concentration levels. Phthalates can be harmful if young children are exposed to sufficient amounts, including through ingestion, and certain phthalates have been associated with adverse health effects, particularly effects on development and the hormone system.
Primark at 617-946-3236 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.primark.com/recall or at www.primark.com and click on “Recalls” at the bottom of the page for more information.
This recall involves the Primark 101 Dalmatians Faux Leather Coin Purse, Model No. 2595301. The coin purse is black and has a picture of a dalmatian and “101 Dalmatians” printed on the front. The model number is located on the product tag attached to the zip puller.
Consumers should stop using the coin purses immediately, keep them away from children and return them to a Primark store for a full refund in the original form of payment.
The recalled medals violate the mandatory safety standard for magnets because the high-powered magnets may detach, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
