Just a little head's up from the
Los Angeles Times:
China's having a problem with cheap counterfeit condoms and some of them are making their way to the U.S. From the story:
Health
officials warn that inferior contraceptives can spread the diseases
they are supposed to protect against. Some of the brand-name knockoffs

In another case, workers recycled used condoms into hair bands in southern China.
"People could be infected with AIDS, [genital] warts or other diseases

China Daily newspaper.
Um... Gross!!!
There are a few things you don't want to go cheap on. Condoms are near the top of that list.
