Used Condoms Made into Hair Bands

Comment Published at 18:1118:1130 comments30 comments335 Visits335 VisitsReport

I’m all for recycling but there are just some things that should NOT be recycled....EVER!

There is an email going around about this - I don't trust email alerts so I looked into it...and yeah, it is true.

There are reports of used condoms are  being recycled into hair bands. The bands originate from China have been found in markets and beauty salons.

Just think about it...

We put these things in our children's hair, they/we hold them, they even end up in mouths......can you imagine what possible germs are being spread....

Its wrong, its illegal and its outrageous!!

Below are images of the hair bands and the deconstruction of one showing the condom....

 I already made a comment in the Bulletin board, this is disgusting and more so that these big companies can endanger people lives, without even a second thought.

Love janice xxxx

Well this is gross, and secondly just goes to prove how much you can't trust chinese made things.

I hope ppl boycott chinese made hairbands over this.

Re: Used Condoms Made into Hair Bands

A lot of great products come out China though - and it's a pitty that a few companies have gone out and done these under-handed things to ruin it for those legit ones....

what keeps going through my mind though - how many other places are doing it  are we doing here in Oz, in the USA - where else....its kinda scary to think this goes on and we really are none the wiser for it....

So many of these hand ties have been sold and without customer knowledge...so what other things are being made, where are they being made and by who...

It should be law to have all ingredients listed on EVERY item....none of this hidden crap!!

We should know what we purchase, we should have the right, demand the right and not buy products that don't list them....if they don't want to do it...I wanna know why they wont list it!!

Re: Used Condoms Made into Hair Bands

I couldn't believe it myself. Hence why I looked it up on the 'net after my daughter sent me an email over it...
