Hairband

We, girls love cute/pretty hairbands don't we? We tied our hair, put some accessories on it because we wanna look 'extra' pretty kan? hehe. For me, hair accessories are so cantik!. I, myself can't stop buying them even though I jarang pakai hehe but still I akan beli sebab cantik kot! :D

Few days ago, my mum forward to me an email about rubber hair band that made in China (maybe I am a little bit or wayyy behind you guys to know this stuff..but oh well, just wanna share it anyway). This hairband was made from a used condom (read: used!/recycle!). Erghhh!! seriously geli gile kot!. Thank God, tak cantik ok! grrrr...

Pictures below shows where they put the condom...

They put the condom inside to replace the rubber..hmm

BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday

In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.

'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ....... threatening the health of local people,' it said.. Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.

'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying. A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just Rs.5, much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.

A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal. China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.

In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.

Check your kids hair bands and make sure they do not put them in their mouth while trying to plait or tie their hair .
