Unwanted Pregnancy, HIV/AIDS: NAFDAC warns Nigerians about fake Kiss condoms in circulation
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has raised the alarm over the sale and distribution of fake Kiss Condoms in various local markets.
The regulatory agency, in a statement published on December 18 and circulated on social media on Monday, issued the alert while warning the public about the dangers of using the counterfeit condom brand.
“The Fake Kiss Condom has been reported to be found in Onitsha Market, Idumota Market, Trade Fair Market, and various markets in Kano, Abuja, Uyo, Gombe, Enugu, and others,” NAFDAC said.
It added, “Kiss Condom is a brand of male latex condoms designed for sexual protection, mainly to help prevent unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, gonorrhea, and syphilis.”
NAFDAC also listed ways to identify fake Kiss Condoms in the market.
