Tesco Apologises as Supermarket Shoppers Offered Full Refund After Safety Recall
Tests found excessive phthalates in three Tu bags, and officials said the products pose a serious chemical risk and do not meet safety rules.
- Sainsbury and Argos are urgently recalling three tote shopper bags—the Tan Curved Top Shopper, Black Croc Winged Tote Bag, and Brown Belt Handled Core Shopper—after tests found excessive concentrations of phthalates posing a 'serious chemical risk.'
- Officials stated the bags fail to meet the requirements of the REACH Enforcement Regulations 2008. The Office for Product Safety and Standards warned that prolonged exposure to phthalates may potentially damage children's reproductive systems.
- Customers who own the affected items should stop using them immediately and return the products to their nearest Sainsbury or Argos store for a full refund.
- Shoppers with questions can call the Sainsbury careline on 0800 028 8303 or contact Argos on 0800 011 3462. Retailers confirm no other products are affected by this issue.
- Retailers have urged purchasers to share this recall notice with anyone who may have received or used the bags, as the recall is limited to these three items.
