Pharmacy and Poisons Board has recalled ‘Sure’ condoms Batch No. 2405055 manufactured by Indus Medicare Private Limited.
This comes hours after the quality control body recalled other pharmaceutical products over safety issues.
In a statement, CEO Fred Siyoi has cited non-compliance with quality standards as the reason behind the recall.
“The Pharmacy and Poisons Board ("the Board") draws public attention to the recall of the substandard sure lubricated condoms dotted, Batch No. 2405055, Manufactured by Indus Medicare Private Limited. The product samples did not comply with the specifications for the freedom from holes (conductivity) test performed,” Siyoi’s statement reads in part.
