text: In a statement on its website, the contraceptive giant said certain batches did not reach the required "burst pressure" towards the end of their shelf life.
  This means they are at greater risk of bursting “during application or use”.
  The company said there was "no immediate safety concern for consumers and only a limited number of batches are affected".
  It said the decision to recall some batches was taken after "working closely with the relevant regulatory authorities".
  Durex advised customers to read the products' label, which says that if a condom leaks or bursts, you should speak to a doctor or pharmacist "as soon as possible, at least within 72 hrs".
  Batches affected have expiry dates of between Dec 2020 and Feb 2021.
  John Wilkinson, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s (MHRA) Director of Medical Devices said: “It’s important that you check the batch numbers to see if you have a product from an affected batch.
  “If you have, stop using them as there is a risk that they will tear or leak.
  “If you have any questions, please speak to your healthcare professional or sexual health provider.”
