The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) said it has seized a large consignment of poor quality and substandard condoms imported from China. A statement from the FDA said the packaging of the Be Safe condoms had no manufacturer’s name and address but only the inscription “Manufactured in P.R.C”. Seven batches of the Be Safe condoms also failed to meet quality standards when tested at the FDA’s Medical Devices Laboratories, the statement further indicated. The condoms were found to contain visible holes and burst easily under pressure and thus can easily break during sex. According the FDA, users of the condoms are at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS and having unwanted pregnancies. The condoms were also of “smaller-than-normal size and not adequately lubricated”, the FDA said. The FDA is warning the general public against the patronage of the fake Be Safe condoms and any facility having stocks of the substandard condoms should hand them over to the nearest office of FDA for safe disposal. The FDA has however assured the public of continued vigilance in its enforcement activity to promote public health and safety. The FDA is therefore appealling to the general public to give any information on persons suspected to be in any practice possible of endangering public health and safety with respect to FDA’s mandate.
