Primark have issued a recall of thousands of pairs of Flip Flops over dangerous levels of a 'cancer causing' chemical.
Three colours of their Cedar Wood Flip Flops are being recalled as they do not "meet the Primark usual high standards for chemical compliance" and have "levels of a restricted substance in excess of the 1.0 mg/kg requirement".
A Primark spokesperson confirmed to news outlets that the flip flops contain chrysene, which is commonly used in dark-coloured dyes.
The affected items are Cedar Wood Mens's Flip Flips in Black, Blue and Khaki and were on sale in shops from 4th January to 2nd June 2017. If you have an affected item you should return it to stores for a full refund.
