In BrE it's lax, but the morphological split is pro+duct, so I
would cringe at any hyphenation other than pro-/duct.

(I've just been correcting a set of proofs typeset by (I suspect)
Germans, & have been suffering at such hyphenations as le-/xical
and ta-/xonomic. I've had similar experiences in working on
proofs typeset by Italians according to Italian rules.)
