Stock at Primark stores could be hit by stock shortages due to Coronavirus affecting its stock from China.
The high-street super store gathers a lot of its products from China, where the virus broke out earlier this year.
Now constraints on staff and logistics mean they are struggling to keep up with demand.
But company bosses at the chain's owner, Associated British foods (ABF), insist they are 'well stocked' and don't see any 'short-term' impact.
They are now 'assessing strategies' to increase production outside of China to avoid stock risks.
Bosses announced: "Following the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, our main priority is the health and safety of our colleagues and we are taking all possible actions to support them.
"At the same time, each of our businesses are closely monitoring the current and potential effects on their operations of the outbreak.
"The effect on supply chains for businesses dependent on Chinese sourcing continues to evolve.'"
They added: "We are working closely with our suppliers in China to assess the impact on their factories and supply chains and their ability to fulfil our current orders.
"If delays to factory production are prolonged, the risk of supply shortages on some lines later this financial year increases.
"We are assessing mitigating strategies, including a step up in production from existing suppliers in other regions.
