A Factory In Vietnam Got Caught Recycling Hundreds Of Thousands Of Used Condoms Then Reselling Them To Unsuspecting Customers

Source - A factory in Vietnam was busted washing and reselling more than 320,000 used condoms to pass them off as new, according to police who raided the dangerous operation.

To “recycle” the dirty rubbers, Pham Thi Thanh Ngoc, 32, allegedly had roughly 1,000 of them delivered per month to the facility in Tan Uyen Town, where she cleaned and reshaped them, according to the Vietnam Insider.

Pham, who rented the facility, remolded the jimmies with a wooden shaft to make them look fresh again — then placed them in new packaging, the local outlet reported.

Wait...a woman cleaned them out?!? It wasn't a machine doing the cleaning? A living breathing human being was physically washing loads out of used condoms then rolling them back up into the package and selling them?

Poor Pham Thi Thanh Ngoc. I cannot think of a worse job on planet earth. Hopefully she made decent money? Not that that matters...

During the raid on Saturday, local police seized a total of 324,000 used condoms, officials said. Thousands more had already been sold to unsuspecting customers.

“Condoms are classified as medical items, so we will take a look at the several laws that the owner has broken,” a government official said, according to news website VN Explorer. No other details about the illicit operation were available, according to authorities.

Washing and reusing condoms can lead to disease and infection, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I wonder what her punishment will be? Part of me feels like she'll get off scot free. Also, do you think people could tell if the condoms were tampered with? Like someone had to have noticed, right?  "Honey does this condom look weird to you?" "No just put it on, let's go!" Gross.

Let this blog serve as a friendly reminder to all of you to check your condoms before you use them. Not just for holes, but for any preexisting residue. Especially if you're in Vietnam. That's all for this one. Take it away, Austin!
