Millions of condoms recalled after failing burst test

Millions of condoms have to be recalled as they fail an air burst test in South Africa; the condoms were made in South Africa and were being given out free by the government to help stop the spread of Aids. The Ministry of Health in the country has asked for members of the public and any partners who helped to distribute the condoms to help with the recall.

This recall comes after an incident with South African company Zalatex, who was known to bribe an official to approve condoms that were in fact defective. This led 12 million condoms being taken off the shelf in August.
