There are currently numerous recalls for various products in Germany and consumers need to be careful. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) warned of health risks from food, including from Rewe and Edeka. The recalls include everything from fruit, cheese and dog food to spices. The warnings particularly focus on products that could be contaminated with pathogens such as salmonella or listeria. This reported ruhr24.

In addition, recalls were also announced in the sports and leisure industry. Pieps GmbH provided information about the PIEPS PRO IPS avalanche transceiver device, where contact loss in the battery compartment can occur. Carqon brought the problem with its cargo bikes to the fore: The fastening screws can come loose during intensive use, which can lead to dangerous situations. Woolworths also recalled the “Dunlop sports armband for smartphone” because it contains harmful chemical compounds.
