Primark safety recall alert as children’s plate releases lead and formaldehyde on food

Wiltshire Trading Standards has warned people that a children’s plate from Primark is dangerous and has been recalled. 

The Winnie the Pooh plate has been on sale from Primark stores since January 13, but the clothing chain has urged people to return it after discovering it poses a possible health risk. 

Tests have revealed that the plate releases trace amounts of lead and formaldehyde at levels higher than permitted by EU regulations, and that may be harmful if ingested.
