The hazard: Product safety hazard

A consumer product hazard prompted this recall, and the remedy — refund, repair or replacement — is funded by the company, not by you.

What the notice says: The crayons in the coloring set have high levels of strontium and aluminum, and this may present a risk if ingested, posing a poisoning hazard if ingested by young children.

Why it matters: The CPSC published this recall because the product can injure someone. The hazard statement above describes how.

What to do about Product safety

Primark — A consumer product hazard prompted this recall, and the remedy — refund, repair or replacement — is funded by the company, not by you.

  1. Stop using the product and move it somewhere a child or pet cannot reach it.
  2. If the product already hurt someone, file a report at SaferProducts.gov.
  3. Check the model number and date code against the identifiers on this page, and photograph them.
  4. Do not resell, donate or pass it on — reselling a recalled product is illegal in the United States.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Coloring Set and return it to a Primark store for a full refund in the form of the original payment.

Company contact: Primark at 617-946-3236 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or go online to www.primark.com/recall or www.primark.com and click "Recall" at the bottom of the page.
