Durex has recalled some batches of condoms in Ireland and the UK due to concerns they may burst.
Durex said only a limited number of batches of "Real Feel" and "Latex Free" condoms were affected and that customers would be offered a full refund.
"Our tests have shown that some batches which are currently on the market in UK & Ireland do not pass the requirements for burst pressure towards the end of the shelf life for the product," Durex said in a statement.
The Health Products Regulatory Agency said in a statement, that a number of condoms manufactured in 2018 do not pass the requirements for burst pressure towards the end of their shelf life.
There is a risk that the condom might tear or leak reducing its protection from sexually-transmitted diseases and pregnancy.
The following batch numbers (confirmed to be on the Irish market) are affected:
Other products which were placed on the UK market could also have made their way to Ireland and consumers should check for these batch numbers:
