 ### Breaking changes
 
+- Add return statement to Confluent kafka Producer poll() and flush() calls when instrumented by ConfluentKafkaInstrumentor().instrument_producer() ([#2527](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/pull/2527))
 - Rename `type` attribute to `asgi.event.type` in `opentelemetry-instrumentation-asgi`
   ([#2300](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/pull/2300))
 - Rename AwsLambdaInstrumentor span attributes `faas.id` to `cloud.resource_id`, `faas.execution` to `faas.invocation_id`
