Overview

  • The recall applies exclusively to 75 ml Balea Handserum Hyaluron bottles marked with batch code 58309, which have been removed from dm shelves nationwide.
  • dm’s internal tests found possible contamination with the yeast Candida parapsilosis, a low risk for healthy users but one that can trigger serious infections in immunocompromised individuals.
  • Customers are advised to stop using the product and may return unopened or opened bottles to any dm store for a full purchase-price refund.
  • This action follows recent recalls of a dmBio cashew butter and a dm breakfast item as part of the chain’s heightened consumer safety measures.
  • Candida parapsilosis infections can range from wound and urinary tract infections to invasive candidiasis, which in severe cases may lead to sepsis or organ failure.
