CHINA AGAIN - THIS IS DISGUSTING - HAIR BANDS MADE FROM USED CONDOMS

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. '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 s en (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.
