Primark has recalled a Disney Winnie the Pooh plate over fears it could be harmful to kids.
The plate contains trace amounts of lead and formaldehyde that are higher than levels permitted by EU laws - this means it pose a risk to children if ingested.
Lead poisoning can cause abdominal pain, vomiting and constipation, as well as developmental delays and learning difficulties in children.
Formaldehyde can cause nausea, headaches, dizziness and hormone issues, according to the NHS website.
Primark says the Winnie the Pooh plate first went on sale in UK stores from January 13, 2022.

When a supermarket product is recalled, you usually don’t need your receipt to get your money back.
But if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites.
You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves.
Primark isn't the only retailer to issue a recall in recent weeks.
Aldi recently pulled its portable hammock from sale as there is a “risk of injury” to customers due to a design defect.
The hammock came in two colours - blue or green and yellow - and was priced at £44.99.
All affected products will have the code 816216, which should be found on the receipt.
Aldi customers will be issued a full refund if they purchased this products.
Earlier in the year, Aldi asked customers to return a number of defective garden furniture items due to a fire risk.
