Supermarket handbags recalled in UK over risk of 'damaging reproductive systems'

Asda has recalled three handbag styles, the Front Pocket XBody Bag, the Opp Tote Bag, and the Black Nylon Phone Bag, because they contain unsafe levels of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). This chemical, used to soften plastics, can pose health risks and potentially damage the reproductive system. Shoppers are advised to stop using the bags immediately and return them to any Asda store for a full refund, no receipt required.
