Because some Billy Boy and Fromm brand condoms may be broken, the manufacturer is recalling several batches.
Single condoms could be damaged, it says on the website of Billy Boy: "This can lead to an impairment of the protective effect." Affected are various Kondompackungen of Billy Boy and Fromms, which were delivered between June and August 2019 to the trade.
Possible material weakness
In a table, the manufacturer lists 16 different types of packaging from Billy Boy and three from Fromms. Consumers could use the IDENT or LOT number to verify whether purchased condoms are affected by the recall.
According to the information, damaged condoms can lead to material weakness, which in rare cases could lead to leaks during use.
The condoms were manufactured at MAPA GmbH in Zeven, Lower Saxony. According to the information, it is the first recall of Billy Boy and Fromms products. Who returns affected condoms, the purchase price gets back.
