Product Recall

You will all be familiar with the Cedar Wood range at Primark. 

The Cedar Wood flip flop range includes mens flip flops in Black, Khaki and Blue, and were released at the beginning of the summer season on June 2nd 2017.

The flip flops were confirmed to be contaminated with a chemical called chrysene, which has been found to cause cancer.

As a result, Primark have suspended all production of the product and have launched an investigation into how such a toxic chemical has found its way into this product. 

They are also offering a full refund to customers who have purchased the flip flops – but our guesses are this is not the main worry of customers, instead the worry of cancer instead of the thought of losing out on a few quid!
