On the same day we have reported about £117 million of counterfeit
drugs being seized in China, we can also confirm that the major problem
of counterfeit goods is rife on these shores too!
If you are currently in London and enjoying Team GB’s successful
Olympic campaign, please make sure you are always vigilant for fake,
poorly made goods and Olympic souvenirs. We are issuing these warnings
because since the start of the Games on 27 July, there have been
seizures of fake goods totalling roughly £10,000 according to the
Westminster trading standards.
Included in the haul were fake ‘Olympic branded’ condoms, mobile
phone covers, t-shirts and shoes. Sue Jones, head of Westminster trading
standards, hit out at the criminal activities and said, “This isn’t
about taking anyone to court, but when traders are trying to trick
tourists with shoddy or fake Olympic merchandise, we need to take
action. Buying bogus Olympic goods is a false economy – they don’t look
right, they break easily, and tourists will go away from London with a
poor experience of the Games. We want to make sure that people have the
best possible experience of the Games and of Westminster.”
Unfortunately, what Sue Jones didn’t explain in detail is just how
dangerous it is purchasing cheaper counterfeit condoms. If the low price
attracts you to purchase fake condoms, perhaps the risks you face with
them could deter you, and instead opt for genuine, quality-made Durex or
Skins condoms.
For example, there is a massive risk the fake condoms will not even
do the job they are meant for in the first place! With a lack of good
protection on offer, the risk of catching and spreading a sexually
transmitted infection such as chlamydia or herpes is massive, as well as unwanted pregnancies.
Male and female contraception
should only be purchased from a highly reputable source such as Medical
Specialists Pharmacy. Every medication or product dispatched to our
patients is 100% genuine and their health is at the core of our business
practice. We have a wide range of both Durex and Skins condoms at great
prices from our chemist shop. However, if you suspect you may have used
a low-quality fake condom, we offer a Clamelle chlamydia test kit
for just £24.85 which can be used in the privacy of your own home to
prevent an embarrassing visit to your GP. Or, if you have been confirmed
as having this or gonorrhoea, the antibiotic Azithromycin
can prevent the spread of the bacteria so that your body’s natural
defences can fight back and remove the infection from your system. We
also have the medication Valtrex working out as costing just £3.50 per tablet, which works by slowing the spread of the herpes virus.
