Fume event on initial climb from ZZZ to ZZZZ reported by #1FA (Flight Attendant). Stopped climb at 10;000 feet and stayed by the ZZZ airport as we investigated the situation. After approximately 25 minutes we decided that a return to field was necessary and ATC was notified. During final approach due to high task loading; there was possible momentarily flap limit over speed. Landed without further incidence and priority handling was canceled. Airbus warning system did not indicate this and there was no paper limit report produced. The potential flap limit over speed was put in the AML (maintenance log).
