Dutch consumers warned not to buy recalled French condoms
Dutch health authorities have warned people not to buy French condom brands online that have been recalled because of concerns...
The Dutch health authorities have issued a warning to consumers against purchasing French condom brands sold online, after they were recalled due to safety concerns. Seven million prophylactics produced by Richter Robber Technology in Malaysia were found to have quality issues, breaching safety regulations. These ultra-thin condoms, which varied in brand from major names to smaller producers, included Vitalis, Einhorn, ON, and Joy Division.
The issue lies in the latex's thinness and the potential for the condoms to tear easily, which could lead to the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The Inspectorate for Healthcare and Youth Care (IGJ) advised consumers and importers not to buy these products, stating they would monitor for any further measures to prevent illegal sales.
Anyone who has used the recalled condoms is urged to get tested for STIs, and women with missed periods should take pregnancy tests. The complete list of recalled products is available on the French government’s website, Rappel.
