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.

Here in the US of A there is no recycling center for used condoms, I guess this

is not so in Japan.

 

People, just remember if you only knew what went into your everyday products,

you would probably stop buying anything. This of

course also goes for food as well.

I'm sure you are right Kenneth, I have read some pretty gross things in regards to what cooks in restaurants do. I feel pretty sure it's the same in canneries. What grosses me out is when I see people cough without trying to cover it up or turn their heads away from what they are cooking.
