Nearly 5 Million Counterfeit Condoms Seized By Chinese Authorities

[Initech]

A ring of underground workshops producing millions of counterfeit brand-name condoms -- including Durex, Contex and Jissbon -- was busted by police in central and east China.

Cops confiscated 4.65 million already packaged prophylactics and another 1,100 pounds of unpackaged condoms were found at the scene.

In a dimly lit room in the countryside of southeast China's Fujian province, dozens of workers were busy on a production line, lubricating the condoms when cops raided. The floor was piled high with the contraceptives, and according to police, the stench of the cheap oil lubricants was nauseating.

The racket was exposed in February when a policeman in Fujian province noticed that a store on Taobao.com, China's most popular online shopping site, was selling ridiculously low-priced condoms. He bought a few to test, and they proved to be fakes. The police then traced the fake products from the online store to a network of underground workshops.

1. You should post this in GD and the Lounge as a Public Service Announcement...

Many here may use those brands of Condems.

Thanks!

2. Oil? Oil = almost certain failure, even if the envelope starts out perfect.

Oil degrades latex.
