France recalls 260,000 condoms over issues
The French authorities have launched a campaign to withdraw approximately 260,000 condoms from the market after discovering that some products lacked the "CE" mark, which confirms their compliance with European safety standards. Inspections revealed that over 40,000 packages had been sold online, in addition to product defects found in stores, such as the potential for tearing or having holes, which increases the risks of transmitting sexually transmitted infections or causing unwanted pregnancy. The authorities advised individuals who used non-compliant products to undergo testing for diseases and, if necessary, pregnancy tests, especially after more than 115 million condoms were sold in France during 2024, as part of consumer protection efforts and to ensure the safety of medical products.
