Delez Serbia has withdrawn Progarden garden gloves from all of its retail outlets after elevated levels of dibutyl phthalate were found in the gloves’ PVC dots.
The product, made by Koopman International B.V., is labeled “Garden Gloves S/M/L 0640.” The recall covers lot number 989306 and products marked as imported in 2026.
The European Chemicals Agency classifies dibutyl phthalate, or DBP, as toxic to reproductive health and as a substance with properties that can disrupt the human endocrine system.
Delez urged customers who bought the gloves to stop using them. It advised anyone who experiences health problems to contact the nearest healthcare facility.
Customers can return the product at any Maxi or Mega Maxi store and receive a refund without presenting a fiscal receipt.
