Health · Preventivo recallRossmann condom recall: Preventivo batches may leak or tearWritten November 14, 2026 at 11:42 AM UTCWatchTranscript0:00Rosman Condom Recall.0:01Preventivo batches may leak or tear.0:07Rossmann is telling customers to stop using specified batches of two condom0:11products.0:11The company says a production defect could make some condoms leak or tear.0:15That puts protection against unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted0:19infections at risk.0:20Which packs are affected, and what should you do if you've already used one?0:23The warning covers selected batches of Preventivo Mixed and Preventivo Feelings,0:28both sold in packs of twenty-four.0:29Check the packaging even if the expiry date is years away.0:32This recall concerns a defect during production.0:35Rossmann issued the recall on November11,2026.0:39The company warns about possible failure in the listed stock.0:42Customers should stop using affected condoms and return them to a Rossman store for0:46a full refund.0:47Preventivo Mixed has fifteen affected date and code entries.0:50Preventivo Feelings has expiry dates from February through June2030 .0:54Inclusive, with four associated batch codes.0:56For either product, match the barcode number with the batch information on the1:00packaging.1:01The EAN is the product's barcode number.1:04It identifies the product, while the batch details identify the stock being1:08recalled.1:08For mixed, keep the printed date and production code together when checking a pack.1:12Mix list includes dates in two thousand and twenty-eight, two thousand and1:16twenty-nine and two thousand and thirty.1:17Those are specific entries, so a date falling between them isn't enough to identify1:21an affected pack.1:22Match both parts of the entry before deciding whether yours is included.1:25For feelings, check the expiry information and the batch code together.1:29The four codes are five thousand three hundred and twelve, five thousand five1:32hundred twenty-six, five thousand six hundred sixty-one, and five thousand six1:35hundred and sixty-two.1:36A pack with an affected expire date still years ahead should no longer be used.1:39Rosman will reimburse the purchase price when affected products are returned to its1:42stores.1:43Customer service takes recall questions Monday through Saturday.1:46From eight in the morning until eight in the evening, ask about return requirements1:50if you are unsure.1:51If you've already used an affected condom and you are worried contraception failed,1:55speak promptly to a pharmacist or clinician.1:57Don't wait until you've returned the pack.1:59Owning a recalled product alone doesn't mean you need medication.2:02Subscribe to this channel to follow further developments in the Rossmann recall.2:05Oral emergency contraception is available without a prescription in German2:09pharmacies.2:09Emergency duty pharmacies provide access at night, on weekends, and on holidays.2:14Earlier treatment works better, so seek advice as soon as possible after suspected2:18contraceptive failure.2:19The tablets work by delaying or preventing ovulation, the release of an egg.2:23Once ovulation has happened, they won't work.2:25They can't end an existing pregnancy, and they don't protect against sexually2:28transmitted infections.2:30Livenorgestrel has a maximum window of three days.2:32Olipristol acetate has a maximum window of five days.2:36Both windows run from the sexual encounter.2:38Discovering the recall later doesn't restart that clock.2:41Emergency contraception can't guarantee that pregnancy will be prevented.2:44Tell the pharmacist or clinician about other medicines and health conditions,2:48because those can affect the choice.2:50These are general options after contraceptive failure.2:53Treatment depends on your circumstances.2:54Prices start at about seventeen or twenty, nine euros, depending on the active2:59ingredient, and vary between products.3:01Statutory insurance covers oral emergency contraception before the twenty two3:05birthday if a prescription is obtained beforehand.3:07A co-payment applies from age eighteen.3:09After sexual violence, health insurance covers it at any age with a prescription.3:13A clinician can also assess a copper intrauterine device, often called a copper IUD3:18or a copper chain as another emergency contraception option.3:21A copper IUD or copper chain needs insertion as early as possible, no later than3:26five days after contraceptive failure.3:28The listed costs are one hundred and twenty to three hundred euros for the IUD or3:32about two hundred to three hundred and fifty euros for the chain.3:35Statutory insurance covers these copper options before the twenty two birthday.3:39Oral emergency contraception can shift your next period.3:42If it's more than seven days later than expected, take a pregnancy test and seek3:46medical advice.3:47A possible HIV exposure needs a separate urgent assessment.3:50The type of contact and the partner's HIV status and treatment matter.3:54Effective HIV treatment that suppresses the virus prevents sexual transmission.3:58A broken condom doesn't automatically mean HIV exposure occurred.4:01A specialist clinician decides whether post-exposure prophylaxis or PEP is4:06appropriate.4:07It's a four-week course of HIV medicines intended to prevent infection after a4:11relevant exposure.4:12The need depends on the encounter, rather than the recall alone.4:15PIP should start as quickly as possible, ideally within two hours.4:18Otherwise, preferably within twenty, four hours and no later than forty-eight hours.4:22Whether starting as late as seventy-two hours is useful is disputed.4:26Seek assessment immediately.4:28The PP can cause headache, DRFRO, nausea, or vomiting.4:32It targets HIV and won't treat every sexually transmitted infection.4:36Rosmond hasn't given a failure rate or account of linked pregnancies or infections,4:40so the overall health impact is still unknown.4:42Specialist hospital services assess possible HIV exposures around the clock.4:46HIV specialist practices can assess patients during the day.Read the articleStory timelineHeyDex
