What i read today

Trust the Chinese to innovate. The Chinese vegetable oil can double up and be used as a substitute to lubes.

2 million counterfeit condoms in China

China - Safe sex may not be quite so safe in China what with approximately two million fake and unsterile condoms already in circulation there.

The knock-off prophylactics were made in a factory in Hunan province and are sold as popular condom brands Jissbon, Durex, Six Sense and Love Card, local media said.

Local police have since shuttered the offending factory and detained four employees, but are in the midst of tracking down some two million condoms that have already been distributed to the market.

Police reports described the factory as being operated by bare-chested employees using vegetable oil to lubricate the condoms before packing them in fibre bags without sterilisation. The condoms have little or no protection, and users are at risk of both pregnancy and disease.

China is the fourth largest condom manufacturer in the world.
