Guys, potentially counterfeit condoms are on the market, probably only in a limited release, leading to a recall of "Durex Mixed Pack" bought online
My 2 cents comments:
-Do not buy condoms online, ever
-This was possibly a limited release of counterfeits, but regardless, it may be best to always buy and bring your own condoms everytime, unless it can be confirmed the condoms a shop offers you, were not bought online
-At the very least, dont use Durex condoms (including Extra Safe, Thin Feel and Performa varieties) if offered to you
-Don't do business with these discount online websites, they potentially arent selling genuine articles
-Any company found to be selling counterfeit condoms should be litigated out of existence, due to the significant health risk posed to the community
This recall was issued on 16th April 2015
I sincerely wish the best, for the customers (hopefully not too many), who used these potentially defective condoms in the month described in the recall below
