Warning Will Robinson!!

BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday

In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.

'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ..... threatening the health of local people,' it said.
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said. 

A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal.   China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.

In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.

Check your kids hair bands and make sure they do not put them in their mouth while trying to plait or tie their hair

Sioux buddy, They're recycled from torn or substandard condoms.  Where would they get used ones?  Besides folks, the AIDS virus can't live outside the body and is very fragile.  No danger of getting AIDS in your hair from these puppies.

I get tickled at people who won't eat yucky things but will eat chorizo.    I'll bet we'd be surprised at the things we use that would disgust us if we knew the origins. 

Funny stuff....thanks Sioux, we need things away from politics to ground us.  This blog is becoming so top heavy with politics that I'm waiting for it to flip upside down.

I got that the other day too Sioux and did check it out.  That's where I got the info that they used substandard and factory torn comdoms.  I'm still curious where they got the used ones if they really did use those. They been peekin' in bedroom trash cans  again?  ...LOL

I would think China of all places would want their condoms to be safe considering their population.  Of course, they have no problem with abortion over there...even late term abortion.  Good thing their laws changed to allow more than one child.  For the parents that is.

recycling centers must be a wild and crazy place..I wonder how much you get for a used condom over there..does it go by weight or quantity?? If its quantity how do we get out politicians involved?? that might help stabilize the economy with all the raping of the consumers going on here lately..

Well you know the slogan for Chinese condoms dontcha guys......

"It'll put the lead back in your pencil!"

Literally

I think the only thing the Chinese make without lead are X-Ray vests.

Talk about trying to play  catch-up SCR; I'm still thinking the Japanese got even with us when all those inexpensive motorcycles hit the American market. A bonanza for bone doctors!

I am amazed at China~ a rocket,a man in space,but 4 dead babies,53,000 possibly sick( trust them to tell the truth? I do not),posionious pet food,horendous human rights,the list goes on and on. They have a ways to go on the most basic matters.
