According to the statement, the affected products represent around seven million condoms in the European Union, only some of which are sold in France. This is the volume covered, not a count of observed failures. France is suspending their marketing and importation for one year, renewable.

My Lubie confirms in English a 30 October recall of its standard-size Ultra Fin condoms manufactured by Richter Rubber Technology. Retailer Newpharma also posts an alert covering packs of three and twelve.

Consumers should check product names and batches on RappelConso or with the seller and stop using affected products. Authorities recommend testing for sexually transmitted infections after using non-compliant products and taking a pregnancy test if a period is late; a doctor or a CeGIDD sexual health centre can provide guidance.
