100,000 Free Condoms Rejected in D.C.

by @ 6:35 am on September 6, 2007.

Yet another example of shoddy goods and poor Gov’t planning.  PAPER condom wrappers? Which idiot decided to spend more on the advertizing, than what was inside?

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 100,000 condoms given away in a citywide campaign to reduce HIV and AIDS have been returned because of complaints that their paper packaging can be easily damaged and could make the condoms ineffective.

A coalition of nonprofit groups distributing the condoms for the District of Columbia Health Department returned them after they heard complaints and noticed less demand for them.

“People were saying, ‘These packages aren’t any good,’ said Franck DeRose, executive director of a group called the Condom Project.

Volunteers were told that the paper packets ripped in purses or burst open in pockets and that expiration dates were illegible.

 

Naturally, the Gov’t says they are safe.  Yeah Right
