Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (RB) has announced that they are recalling specific batches of Durex condoms after they did not pass their required safety standards. This means there is a risk that the condom might tear or leak reducing its protection from sexually-transmitted diseases and pregnancy.

People are advised to check if they have any of the affected batches, which are listed in the table below.

If anyone finds an affected batch, they are advised to stop use and return the product for a full refund. For more information, please visit the Durex website .

John Wilkinson, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)’s Director of Medical Devices said:

Our highest priority is making sure that all medical devices are acceptably safe and work effectively. It’s important that you check the batch numbers to see if you have a product from an affected batch.

If you have any questions, please speak to your healthcare professional or sexual health provider.

We strongly encourage anyone to report any issues with this product, or more generally with any medical device, to our Yellow Card Scheme.
