What is this? Some plants sold in OBI stores in Hungary did not follow the rules for safe plant passports. These passports help stop plant diseases from spreading.

What's happening? The plants were taken off store shelves because they did not meet safety rules. The problem has been fixed now.

Does this affect me? If you bought plants from OBI in Hungary, check if they were recalled. You may have plants that need to be returned.

What should I do? Return any affected plants to the store. If you are unsure, ask a store worker or your doctor for advice.
