Selected stationary is being recalled by supermarket due to ‘chemical issues’

Asda has issued a recall on various packs of ballpoint pens after it was discovered that levels of one of the chemicals in the ink were higher than the limits set by safety regulations.

The pens have been on sale across the UK since January 2014 but were only subjected to routine tests recently. Full refunds are being offered – simply take your pens into your local Asda supermarket – no receipt or packaging are required.
