Be cautious of hair bands at open markets around the city too, they are probably from China since they are purchased in bulk, they are very very cheap !
Take a good look before buying hair bands in future especially like the following kind. These Hair bands were made from used condoms and threads. How disgusting !









Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent. 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.

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

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. A bag of ten recycled bands is selling for just 25 sen (three cents), far cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity.

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.

These fucking china bastards can really do ANYTHING FOR MONEY ! First the milk incident and now rubber band. These damn manufacturers should be given death sentence ! Totally inhuman to do this kind of thing just for the sake of money. I can't wait for more natural disasters to befall china as a retribution.
