The Food and Drug Administration is halting all imports of Ansell-brand condoms made at the company's Thailand manufacturing plant after two lots of condoms failed to meet FDA safety standards.
FDA on Friday barred the import of condoms made in Ansell's Surat Thani facility in Thailand after the product failed to meet the agency's safety standards, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. FDA placed Ansell's condoms on Level 2 restrictions -- meaning the condoms will have to pass agency tests in at least 10 successive shipments before the restriction is removed -- after an undisclosed failure during the testing of two shipments.
Ansell was barred from exporting condoms from its Thailand plant to the United States on Friday after the products failed to meet rigorous safety standards during a random inspection.
