The public health institute ordered that three batches of
approximately 1.7 million Kaiju condoms be withheld from
distribution while it investigated reports that they broke during
use and were too small.
"This is a preventative measure to avoid any problem with users of
the product and to show vigilance," said health official Jaime
Burrows.
The problems may be related to incorrect storage, said public health
institute director Alex Figueroa, adding that people were being
asked not to use those already distributed.
Kaiju said on its Facebook page that the product had arrived in
Chile in 2014 and 2015 and had been fully tested without problems.
