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 colourful 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.
'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying.
A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 sen (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper 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..

Imagine carrying around used condoms to deposit them in a used condom bin. The government has to know because of the 'collection centers'.

So much for world wide trade.....it's dangerous.

Sick...........

What is with the Chinese and their killer products? It seems almost everything they make has some aspect of death in it. One would almost have to think they were doing it intentionally, that or they are just stupid.

WHAT IN THE WORLD!
Where are they finding these "used" condoms? Are there special collection centers for them?

Is the FDA going to inspect them and place "recalls" on these hair bands when necessary? (sarcasm) We know how the FDA operates.

This is so disgusting!

Hmmm, well I don't think it is stupidity....after all, it takes a certain amount of genius.....evil genius perhaps, but genius nontheless....to look at used condoms and see the potential for hair accessories.


I'll take Intentionally for $100, Alex.
