NAFDAC issues alert on fake Kiss condoms in Nigerian markets
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has warned about counterfeit Kiss condoms circulating in Nigerian markets. The alert was issued on June 24, 2025, following reports from DKT International Nigeria. NAFDAC highlighted serious health risks linked to these fake products.
"The use of fake condoms poses serious health risks due to poor quality, lack of sterilisation, and absence of regulation."
Highlights
- NAFDAC identified fake Kiss condoms in markets across Onitsha, Idumota, Kano, Abuja, Uyo, Gombe, Enugu, and more.
- Genuine Kiss condoms have lighter packaging, full manufacturer details, and clear instructions, while fakes have darker boxes and incomplete information.
- Counterfeit condoms are thinner, less lubricated, and offer less protection against pregnancy and STIs.
- The agency urged consumers to buy only from approved sources and report any suspicious products to NAFDAC.
- All zonal directors and state coordinators have been directed to intensify surveillance and remove fake condoms from circulation.
