FDA warns vs unregistered condoms

MANILA, Philippines - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yesterday warned the public against condoms that are either unregistered or with certificates of product registration (CPRs) have expired but are still sold in the market.

Citing the results of its post-marketing surveillance, the FDA said in an advisory that PlaySafe Condom Easy Pack Long Love + Ribbed, PlaySafe Condom Extrasafe and Feel Condom Vibra are not registered with the agency.

The CPRs for PlaySafe Condom Fix-Tex 002; PlaySafe Condom Fix-Tex Long Shock and Feel Condom 4 in 1 have expired, the FDA said.

The agency said it cannot guarantee the condoms’ quality and safety.
