Nationwide Condom Recall Issued By Health Canada

Some Durex condoms from a specific batch failed tests that guarantee their structural safety up until the expiration date.

Health Canada has issued a recall of Durex RealFeel condoms as a precautionary measure over concerns about "burst pressure" as the product ages.

The recall alert, released Thursday, says some condoms from a specific batch failed tests that guarantee their structural safety up until the expiration date. 

According to Health Canada the affected product is the 20-count package of Durex RealFeel condoms manufactured in 2017, with the lot/serial number 1000356816 and model/catalog number 97177.

Parent company Reckitt Benckiser Canada Inc. has assured customers they have narrowed the issue to the previously mentioned serial number via its website and will provide full refunds for the condoms in question.

There was a similar recall involving DUREX Real Feel Extra Lubricated 10ct condoms on July 30.
