What is the hazard with Product Recall: George Ladies’ Handbags (2609-0009)?

Product Recall: George Ladies’ Handbags (2609-0009) (George) was announced in the last month, in the "Clothing, textiles and fashion items - Personal Bags" category. The products present a serious chemical risk because they contain excessive concentrations of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. The products do not meet the requirements of the REACH Regulations 2008. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.

What should you do if you own this product?

The products have been recalled from end users by ASDA. We recommend that consumers stop using the products immediately. Return the products to any ASDA store for a full refund.
