CPSC Recalls Primark 101 Dalmatians Coin Purses Over Phthalate Hazard

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall on October 15, 2026, for approximately 2,100 Primark 101 Dalmatians faux leather coin purses due to phthalate levels that exceed permitted concentrations. The hazard is primarily to young children, who can be exposed to phthalates through ingestion — by mouthing or chewing on the item.

If your child has one of these purses, stop letting them use it now. Return it to any Primark store for a full refund. No injuries have been reported, but the CPSC has determined the chemical risk is real enough to warrant the recall.

What Are Phthalates?

Phthalates are chemicals used as plasticizers — they make materials more flexible and durable. They're found in many soft plastic and vinyl products. Regulatory agencies in both the US and UK set limits on phthalate concentrations in children's products because exposure, particularly through mouthing and ingestion, has been associated with potential health effects.

The same Primark 101 Dalmatians purse was also recalled in the UK by the Office for Product Safety and Standards in September 2026 under the same model number, citing phthalates above permitted levels under UK product safety law.

What's Next

Check your child's belongings for the recalled coin purse. If you find the model number 2595301 on the zip puller tag, stop use immediately and return it to any Primark store. No proof of purchase is required for the full refund. More information is available at cpsc.gov/Recalls.
