The recall concerns product code 1100265415001, with barcode 5059207039158. According to Asda\u2019s product recall notice dated 22 September 2026<\/strong>, the bag had passed all required tests at the time of shipment, but subsequent testing identified levels of phthalates that may exceed regulatory limits. No safety incidents involving the product have been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing Identifies Phthalates Above Permitted Limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asda said the affected Front Pocket XBody Bag <\/strong>does not meet the requirements of the REACH Regulations. The company is voluntarily withdrawing the product as a precautionary measure following the results of the later testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain phthalates are subject to regulatory restrictions. According to Asda, these include Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, commonly known as DEHP<\/strong>. Prolonged exposure above specified limits may pose potential health risks and could possibly cause damage to the reproductive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supermarket said the product successfully passed the required safety tests when it was originally shipped. The issue was detected only after additional testing was carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile no safety incidents have been reported, we are taking this action to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and to maintain our commitment to consumer safety<\/em>,\u201d Asda said in its recall statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Telegraph & Argus<\/a> also reported that shoppers across the UK had been warned to stop using the product following the discovery. The same report said Asda had apologised to customers for any inconvenience caused by the recall. The recall applies specifically to the Front Pocket XBody Bag carrying the stated product code and barcode. The product was priced at \u00a310.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers Told To Return the Bag for a Refund<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customers who have purchased the affected bag have been advised to take it back to their nearest Asda store. According to the retailer, a full refund <\/strong>will be provided and shoppers do not need to present their original receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asda has also directed customers seeking further information to its Customer Relations service on 0330 053 0111<\/strong>. The company said the action was being taken as a precaution and repeated that no safety incidents had been reported at the time of the notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recall <\/a>comes alongside a separate product safety action involving Tesco, which has withdrawn its F&F Home Glass<\/strong> Latte Mug because of a manufacturing issue. Tesco said all batches purchased between September 2025 and August 2026 inclusive were affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that case, the retailer said the manufacturing issue could cause the glass mug to break during normal use, creating a risk of injury. Tesco instructed customers not to use the mug and to return it to any Tesco store for a full refund, with no receipt required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two recalls concern different products and separate safety issues. Asda\u2019s action relates to possible phthalate levels in the Front Pocket XBody Bag, while Tesco\u2019s recall concerns the possibility of its glass latte mug breaking during ordinary use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
