Primark has just pulled a range of cushions from its shelves over fears that they could pose a fire risk. They are issuing a recall on four of their statement cushions: a unicorn-shaped one, a heart shaped one, a sequin shaped one, as well as a super soft version. They are being recalled after the store found that they posed a 'flammability risk,' as the filling used in the cushions could easily catch fire.
Primark representatives have issued a statement regarding the pillows stating 'the product was on sale in our UK stores from the 28th May 2017 to 13th February 2018. If you have purchased this product then please return it to any Primark store where you will be offered a full refund. You will not be required to provide proof of purchase.’ The heart shaped collection come in several colours including cream, pink and grey, and lilac. The super soft cushions come in eight colours including cream, grey, pink, navy, and blue. On the other hand, the sequin collection is in six colours, including light pink, navy, aqua and silver. The unicorn pillows come in aqua, green shades. According to The Sun 64,000 of these cushions had been sold in Ireland alone, which means the store is going to have to give out a hefty number of refunds.

1 of 141. Easy Bake Oven
What says a young girl constrained by the gendering of their sex than a desperate desire to be the sole proprietor of a kitchen tool.
2 of 142. Discman
SO high-tech for 1999.
3 of 143. The Way Things Worked
You knew you were a cool kid when you had this series before the school library did.
4 of 144. Pocahontas Costume
In the woke light of 2017, it's likely that this would be perceived as cultural appropriation :/
5 of 145. Mr Frosty Ice Cream Factory
Never trust a child that makes their own ice.
6 of 146. Baby Born
On reflection, what was possibly fun about having a doll that constantly needed feeding and then and weed everywhere?
7 of 147. CD Stereo
On reflection, it makes sense why our parents wouldn't buy us a portable radio, because really what self-respecting adult can listen to B*Witched blaring at top volume all hours of the day?

Making sleepovers better since 1999.
9 of 148. Polly Pocket Mansion
Fact: Polly Pocket had a nicer house than anything available on Help To Buy
10 of 149. GameBoy
More advanced than an electronic Disney game, less hardcore than a PlayStation. Otherwise, known as the dream.
11 of 1410. Cosmetics Collection
It's super creepy for a child to have a bigger make-up collection than me, a 28-year-old beauty editor.

Who else learnt basic arithmetic on one of these fake tills?
13 of 1412. Spinning Sindy
Seriously, what was more fun than a doll that could also be used as a weapon?
