However, a product from a well-known manufacturer now has to be recalled.
Gloves
help people withstand the cold in winter.
But a
product from
a well-known company is now being
recalled
.
The
leather gloves
can
cause health problems
.
Munich - Summer is drawing to a close.
The colder season is just
around the corner
- the warm jackets, scarves and
gloves
will soon be
brought out of the wardrobe.
The
traditional Munich company Roeckl
has been
making
gloves since 1839, but now they had to be
recalled
of a product.
In the worst case, customers are at
risk of damage to their health
.
Even the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety warns.
Recall of gloves: Product can cause allergic reactions
The
glove model "Frankfurt"
in the
color 780 Coffee (article no. 13011-018)
is affected by the recall
.
The reason for the product recall: A sample showed an increased Chrome VI value in these gloves.
Increased concentrations of Chrome VI can cause allergic reactions on the skin in individual cases.
This is a
product
that Roeckl sold exclusively through
trading partners
, but was not sold in the glove manufacturer's own boutiques or online shop, as the company stated.
In addition, the delivery to the trading partners was two years ago and took place in 2018.
According to the company, the glove model "Frankfurt" is now being produced with another tannery, and the collaboration started in 2020. Roeckl obtains the leather for the gloves from certified tanneries, which are in turn obliged to check the material for harmful components such as Chrome VI.
A new commodity warning has been published.
