Primark has recalled several children's plates over safety fears. The baby and toddler items have now been pulled from shelves.
The retailer says its bunny character wooden plate, bear character wooden plate, and rainbow wooden plate "have been found to release trace amounts of lead and formaldehyde at levels higher than EU regulation permitted levels". Customers are being urged to return the products to stores for a full refund.
Primark said: "It has come to our attention that the Primark® children’s dining products “Winnie the Pooh Plate”, “Bunny Character Wooden Plate”, “Bear Character Wooden Plate” and “Rainbow Wood Plate”, which are pictured above, do not meet the Primark® usual high standards for safety. The products have been found to release trace amounts of Lead and Formaldehyde at levels higher than EU regulation permitted levels.
