Primark Recalls Nearly 3,000 ‘Stitch’ Plush Bags Over Safety Hazard

Primark has issued a recall for two children’s plush bags due to concerns about a potential choking and ingestion hazard. The affected products are the DTR Plush Bag Stitch and DTR Plush Bag Angel, both of which were sold in select U.S. stores between March and October 2024. The recall impacts approximately 2,900 units.

According to the recall notice, the zipper pull on the back of the plush bags can detach, posing a serious risk to young children if ingested or swallowed. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, the company is urging customers to stop using the bags immediately and return them to any Primark location for a full refund. The bags were sold for around $6 and feature a soft, plush design—Stitch in blue and Angel in purple—with dimensions of roughly 10 inches by 8 inches.

The products were sold exclusively in Primark retail stores located in the Northeast U.S., as well as in Florida, Maryland, and Illinois. Each bag includes a swing tag care label attached to the side. The bags were imported by Primark US Corp., based in Boston, Massachusetts, and manufactured in China.

Consumers with questions can contact Primark directly by phone or visit the company’s website for further details. Information about the recall is also available through a dedicated page under the “Recall” section at the bottom of Primark’s homepage. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) assigned recall number 25-294 to the notice, which was issued on May 22, 2025.
