French anti-fraud and health agencies issued a warning against tens of thousands of potentially unsafe condoms sold on the internet and in shops and pharmacies.<\/p>\n
The agencies recalled about 260,000 condoms sold in pharmacies and shops after lab tests found two products presented risks of bursting or the presence of perforations, they said in a statement.<\/p>\n
They advised people who have used the condoms to get screened for sexually transmitted diseases and take a pregnancy test in case of a missed period.<\/p>\n
The anti-fraud agency, known as DGCCRF and the health agency, DGS, also found 30 condom lines listed on online marketplaces which lack the EU conformity seal or labelling in French.<\/p>\n
Of these, about 1,000 boxes, containing more than 40,000 condoms had already been sold, the statement said. The platforms have agreed to remove the listings, the statement said.<\/p>\n
The warning included a list of brands of non-compliant condoms, including two made by Japanese company Okamoto Industries 5122.T and the brands My Lubie and Friday Bae by Passage du Desir.<\/p>\n
Okamoto Industries and Passage du Desir did not immediately respond to requests by Reuters for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French anti-fraud and health agencies issued a warning against tens of thousands of potentially unsafe condoms sold on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":600656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60],"class_list":["post-600655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
