Changsha Investigation Seizes 34.69 Million Illegal Condoms in a Case Worth 230 Million

2014 November 5, Changsha city’s Food and Drug Administration reported the details of the exceptionally large “4.23” illegal manufacture and sale of fake condoms case. This case has been classified by the National Food and Drug Administration as the top case in the 2014 national “Five Rectifications” of medical devices, in a case involing 230 million [RMB]. (Within the brands were included other expired products)

In a secret building within Changsha county Guoyuan town, condoms worth at least 230 million yuan were illegally manufactured and sold, destined for all provinces throughout the country excepting Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, with most going to Jiangshu and Shandong. Last year in May, Shaoyang county’s Chen X registered the “Hunan Xindali Technology Limited Company”, engaged in the business of “manufacturing, assembling, and sales of electronic toys”. However, this company instead hired the Guangdong Huitong Latex Products Limited Company and Hunan Yunyang Latex Technology Industry Limited Company to produce semi-finished natural rubber condoms.

Then, at the secret facility located in Changsha county Guoyuan town, under the guise of producing inflatable dolls, vibrators, and other adults sex products, “Xindali” produced and sold condoms, selling them to various parts of the country. The reason for operating like this was because inflatable dolls and such are not considered medical devices [products] whereas condoms are and require a “Medical Device Manufacturing Enterprise License”. In April of this year, the Changsha municipal Food and Drug Administration received a tip from the Xiangta City Administration. Through various inspections, the Changsha Food and Drug Administration determined that there must be an “illegal facility” in the CHansha county administrative region or surrounding area, and notified the local public security organs [authorities, departments].

On April 23rd, over 200 law enforcement personnel surrounded the secret facility — a five-storey residential building, with the basement being a warehouse for the condoms, boxes stacked high. The first floor was the workshop producing packaging for the workship. The second floor and fourth floor produced inflatable dolls. There was only a small street that led to the secret facility, with people responsible for keeping a lookout. The facility also employed a cook. Seized in the bust were 28.67 million semi-finished condoms and 6.02 million finished condoms involving 15 labels/brands including “Lefantian”, “Langyatao”, and “Aidaodi”. With the production facilities and packaging materials included, the case was valued at 230 million yuan. Many among the products were “postdated”, meaning the bust was in April but the packaging labels indicated a production date of June. Each box of condoms cost 2-3 yuan, and would be sold on the market at a low price to attract consumers, primarily headed towards urban outskirts and smaller contraceptive specialty stores.

Changsha city Food and Drug Administration Inspection Chief Li Hong explains that “Guangdong Huitong” and “Hunan Yunyang” successively provided “Xindali” approximately 200 million semi-finished condom products. With regards to the investigations on these two enterprises, they are currently still on-going. The primary suspect in the case, Chen X, has already been arrested and brought to trial. Li Hong explains that they have previously conducted investigations throughout the city and discovered condoms involved in the “4.23” case being sold in a medical devices wholesaler, which they investigated on the spot. The “4.23” case seized a large number ribbed and studded condoms. These types of condom have demanding production processes, yet “Xindali” did not obtain the reelvant manufacturing qualifications. Therefore, once the condoms involved in this case reach the market, they are likely to exhibit problems such as breakage and ineffectiveness.

No wonder there has been an increase in unexpected pregnancies, as well as reports of babies being abandoned or killed. It turns out the culprit are these fake subpar condoms…

Confiscate them all, then make them into chewing gum to be exported to Japan (1.5/each)

There are fakes for even this? Just how many people have been screwed over by this? People these days, for profit, they’ll counterfeit anything.

Fake condoms wouldn’t mean those that were used by others and simply repackaged, would it?
