The story
About 7 million condoms from multiple brands made in France are being recalled across Europe. The affected brands include My Lubie, Einhorn, Adloran, R&S Consumer Goods, Amor, Primeros, You Me, and others. An earlier recall of roughly 300,000 condoms hit the same country over the summer, and a follow-up investigation reportedly traced the problem back to this manufacturer. In the German-speaking Lemmy community c/dach, the news caused a bit of a stir, with commenters expressing surprise (“here we go again”) and cracking jokes riffing on the brand names.

Mmm, Lyoner (that Lyon-style sausage)!
Background and Key Points
France already saw a recall of roughly 300,000 condoms this past summer, and the current 7-million-unit recall reportedly came to light as an extension of that investigation. With a similar product recall repeating in such a short span, many thread commenters voiced plain astonishment, wondering “what is even going on.” Much of the humor in the thread also drew on German slang, playing on the fact that “Pariser” (literally “Parisian”) is also German slang for a condom. A few users suggested that production for certain goods should perhaps be limited to within Europe, but that’s purely speculation — the original article doesn’t specify the actual cause of the recall (such as defects or failure to meet quality standards), so that point should be kept in mind.
