Primark issues urgent warning over item with shoppers told to ‘stop using’ it
Primark has issued an urgent recall – with shoppers told to “stop using” an item immediately. Primark’s 101 Dalmatians Zip Purse, part of its Disney collection, “has been found to contain phthalates above permitted levels,” a recall notice reads. “This may cause harm to health and the environment.”
Primark has also asked the public to spread the word about the recall, “especially if you know that the recalled product was offered, borrowed or sold to someone else.”
The recall notice reads: “We are recalling our product pictured above due to a safety issue. Model: 101 Dalmatians Faux Leather Coin Purse (Kimball no. 2595301).

“This was sold in Primark stores in the UK between March 2026 and June 2026.
“We’ve learned the product does not meet our usual high safety standards. The product has been found to contain phthalates above permitted levels, and this may cause harm to health and the environment.
“Please stop using the product immediately. Please return the product to any of our Primark stores. It is not necessary to show proof of purchase. The returned product will be fully refunded.
“We apologise for any inconvenience and concerns this may cause.”
Customers seeking more information about the recall have been asked to email help.uk@help.primark.com.
Primark says owners should stop using it immediately and to keep it out of the reach of children.
Customers can then return the product to any Primark store where a full refund will be given, with no receipt or proof of purchase required.
It comes as Primark is to break free from its sister food company, which owns Twinings, Kingsmill and Patak’s, next year despite warning that the conflict in the Middle East is likely to hit consumer spending and drive up inflation. The fashion chain’s owner, Associated British Foods (ABF), confirmed the plan to split off Primark from the rest of the food group, first mooted last year. The fashion group operates 486 stores across 19 countries.
