PRIMARK has issued an urgent recall of popular kids bags that pose a choking risk. The bargain fashion retailer is asking shoppers to bring back two types of plush bags that don't meet safety standards. Primark said the products, based on the kids' favourite 2002 film Lilo and Stitch, come with a zip puller that may detach.
This could lead to a child ingesting or potentially choking on it. If you've bought one of the bags and it comes with a product number 2056301 or 9270801, you should take it back. You should be able to find these product numbers on the labels. Shoppers who take the toys back are eligible for a full refund and no receipt or proof or purchase is needed.
Customers with any questions can email help.uk@help.primark.com. You can find your nearest Primark store by visiting primark.com/en-gb/stores. Product recalls are common practice among retailers with items pulled from shelves for a host of different reasons.
In most cases, products are pulled because there is a safety risk to customers. You can read more about your rights concerning a recalled product in our guide.
