> French anti-fraud and health authorities ordered the recall of about 260,000 condoms after laboratory tests found two non-compliant products with risks of bursting and, in one case, perforations. Around 40,000 had been sold, mostly online. Users with concerns were advised to seek STI screening and take a pregnancy test.
