If you bought a 101 Dalmatians coin purse from Primark earlier this year, take a minute to check the model number before letting a child use it.
Primark has recalled about 2,100 101 Dalmatians Faux Leather Coin Purses because they contain higher levels of phthalates. The recalled product is Model 2595301.
The good news is that no incidents or injuries have been reported. But the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, says consumers should stop using the purse immediately, keep it away from children, and return it to a Primark store for a full refund.
How to tell if your Primark coin purse is recalled
The recall applies specifically to the Primark 101 Dalmatians Faux Leather Coin Purse, Model 2595301.
The purse is black and has a Dalmatian image and the words “101 Dalmatians” printed on the front. The model number can be found on the product tag attached to the zipper pull.
Check for:
- Product: 101 Dalmatians Faux Leather Coin Purse
- Model number: 2595301
- Color: Black
- Design: Dalmatian image with “101 Dalmatians” on the front
- Where to find the model number: Product tag attached to the zipper pull
If the model number is different, do not assume your item is part of this particular U.S. recall based only on its appearance.
Why was the 101 Dalmatians coin purse recalled?
The CPSC says the recalled purses contain higher concentrations of phthalates.
Phthalates are chemicals used in some plastics and other materials. According to the CPSC recall notice, exposure to sufficient amounts can be harmful to young children, including through ingestion, and certain phthalates have been associated with effects on development and the hormone system.
This does not mean that every child who touched or used the purse has been harmed. The recall is a preventive safety action, and no incidents or injuries had been reported when the recall was announced.
What should you do if you have the recalled purse?
If you confirm that your purse is Model 2595301, the recommended steps are simple:
- Stop using it immediately.
- Keep it away from children.
- Return it to a Primark store.
- Request the full refund offered under the recall.
The CPSC says the refund will be issued in the original form of payment.
Because recall procedures can change or additional instructions may be added, it is a good idea to check the current Primark or CPSC recall information before making a special trip to a store.
Where and when were the recalled purses sold?
The affected purses were sold at Primark stores in the Northeast and in Florida, Maryland, and Illinois from March 2026 through June 2026.
They sold for about $9.
That price may make the item seem too inexpensive to worry about returning, but recalls involving children’s products are different from an ordinary return. If you have the affected model, removing it from use is more important than the purchase price.
Do you need to panic if your child already used it?
No. A product recall identifies a safety concern and tells consumers what action to take; it does not mean that everyone who used the product was injured or exposed to a harmful amount.
For this recall, the CPSC reports no incidents or injuries. The practical response is to check the model number, stop using the affected product, and follow the official refund instructions.
If you have a specific health concern involving possible exposure, contact an appropriate healthcare professional rather than trying to determine exposure from the recall notice alone.
The SavingQueen takeaway
This is one of those recalls where a 30-second model-number check can settle the issue.
If you own a black Primark 101 Dalmatians coin purse, look at the tag attached to the zipper pull. If it says 2595301, stop using it, keep it away from children, and return it to Primark for the available full refund.
If the model number does not match, do not discard the product simply because it looks similar. Product recalls are usually tied to specific models, manufacturing runs, or other identifiers.
