Vietnamese police said they will investigate a factory that was found recycling about 320,000 used condoms for resale.
Following a tip from a local resident, Binh Duong provincial market inspectors over the weekend raided a factory near Ho Chi Minh City where they found used condoms being repacked for sale at the market.
A market inspector said the owner of the factory, a 34-year-old woman, confessed that they bought the used condoms from a man in the province.
The condoms were washed, reshaped and packed into plastic packages ready to be sold.
It said police announced they will investigate and track down others involved in the operation. A call to police for comment was not answered Thursday.
A Vietnamese newspaper quoted a health official as saying the recycled condoms posed an extreme health risk to users.
