Shanghai police have detained nine suspects and seized three million knockoff condoms said to contain toxic heavy metals dangerous to human health, South China Morning Post reported, citing state media. Police said the group in question had nine production and storage sites across China and was selling the condoms, labelled with well-known brands such as Durex, mainly at small hotels. “At a workshop in Henan province, we found a small production line which produced bad-quality condoms. The lubricating oil made us vomit,” said Zhang Wenliang of Shanghai’s Yangpu district Public Security Bureau.
