{{A ring of underground workshops producing millions of counterfeit brand-name condoms — including Durex, Contex and Jissbon — was busted by police in central and east China.}}<\/p>\n
Cops confiscated 4.65 million already packaged prophylactics and another 1,100 pounds of unpackaged condoms were found at the scene.<\/p>\n
In a dimly lit room in the countryside of southeast China’s Fujian province, dozens of workers were busy on a production line, lubricating the condoms when cops raided. <\/p>\n
The floor was piled high with the contraceptives, and according to police, the stench of the cheap oil lubricants was nauseating.<\/p>\n
The racket was exposed in February when a policeman in Fujian province noticed that a store on Taobao.com, China’s most popular online shopping site, was selling ridiculously low-priced condoms. <\/p>\n
He bought a few to test, and they proved to be fakes. The police then traced the fake products from the online store to a network of underground workshops.<\/p>\n
A total of 37 suspects from Fujian, Zhejiang and Henan provinces were arrested during the police raid on the workshops on March 29. <\/p>\n
The details were announced by the police on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
