A high street retailer has recalled thousands of men's flip flops over fears they could cause cancer.
Bargain store Primark admitted three versions of the Cedar Wood State flip flop range in khaki, black and blue contained Chrysene, which can cause cancer according to Science Direct.
The store, which has a store in Burton, sold the flip flops since January, and took them off the shelves on June 2 while bosses carry out an investigation.
Anyone who is worried they may have bought the flip flops can check the codes on the shoes, and if they do have an affected pair, they can be returned to the nearest Primark for a full refund.
A spokesman for the store told Mirror Online: "We take the safety of our customers, and the quality of our products, very seriously, which is why we have chosen to recall three men's flip flops from our Cedar Wood State range.
"All new orders with this factory have been suspended while we carry out a thorough investigation. A full refund is being offered to all customers."
The serial numbers of affected flip flops are: khaki 02387/07, 08, 09; black 02387/01, 02, 03 and blue 02387/04, 05, 06.
