Durex has recalled 10 batches of condoms because they might burst during sex. The company’s six, 12 and 18-packs of ‘Real Feel’ and latex-free condoms failed to pass tests of their burst pressure as they near their use-by date, Durex warned.
All the condoms were made this year and are on sale, they have an expiry date of between December 2020 and February 2021.
Durex says condoms in the batch could burst more easily than normal, and a health authority warns this could lead to a risk of unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections.
People have been warned not to use the condoms if they think they are from an affected batch, and to return them for a refund.
