Corona masks are more important than ever for everyday life.
However, a manufacturer has now recalled a product that should not be used.
Warning, do not use!
A manufacturer has recalled corona masks.
The poison aniline was discovered in it.
It remains unclear at first whether there is a real danger or just disturbing the development of smell.
Berlin -
Corona masks
are currently indispensable for everyday life.
This means that people not only protect themselves but also others from infection.
But be careful now!
A product has been recalled.
It is the “
7-month viral Protect mask in sizes M and L
”, which was sold, among others, by the
Müller drugstore chain
.
Recall of corona masks: Batch was sold at least at Müller
Müller spreads
the
recall of the corona masks
on the
official homepage
.
Accordingly, the mask has been sold since October 30th.
"Please check whether your item has been affected and stop using it immediately!
Further measures: You can return the affected item in any of our branches.
The purchase price will be refunded even without presenting the receipt, ”it says there.
The term "consumption" is probably a bit unusual for a corona mask.

The reason given for the recall is “
strong odor
”.
Is that enough for a call back?
It is probably even worse, as
reported by
produktwarnung.eu
.
The portal reports on a statement from the manufacturer
Media Chain Products GmbH
.
Accordingly, the
AZO dye aniline was
detected
in a mask from batch 100406
.
Recall of corona masks: only strong odor development or real danger?
This was discovered in the
binding of
a mask of the said batch.
According to the portal, the manufacturer's masks are not only sold at Müller, but also online.
It is unclear whether only the products offered by the drugstore chain are affected.
It is also not certain whether only an
annoying odor is
to be feared or even more.
Because
aniline
is a
poison
.
"Aniline is suspected of being carcinogenic and can presumably cause genetic defects," writes
NDR.de
, for example
.
However, the poison can also be found in limited quantities in jeans.
In this respect, the amount is probably relevant.
One thing is certain: after the
recall
, the said
corona masks
should not be used.
