The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a public alert warning Nigerians about the circulation of an unregistered condom brand known as Foula Condoms.
NAFDAC said officials from the Post-Marketing Surveillance Directorate discovered Foula condoms (packaged in threes) in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, and Zango, Katsina State.
The agency said the product is not registered for use in Nigeria, stressing that the labelling of the product is not in the English language.
The Foula brand of condoms is not registered by NAFDAC for use in Nigeria, and the product’s labeling is not in English, which raises additional safety concerns,” stated NAFDAC.
“Condoms are essential as an effective barrier method to prevent unintended pregnancies and protect against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. However, they must be registered and meet quality standards to ensure safety and efficacy.
