Durex has issued a recall on a number of condom products over durability and bursting fears.
Both the 'Real Feel' and 'Latex Free' condoms have been recalled after some batches failed shelf-life durability tests.
In a statement, Durex said: "Our tests have shown that some batches which are currently on the market in UK & Ireland do not pass the requirements for burst pressure towards the end of the shelf life for the product."
The expiry date of the affected batches is between December 2020 and February 2021, RSVP Live reports.

The brand added: "Our condoms are intended to provide a method of contraception and prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) through a non-latex barrier that offers a benefit to consumers sensitive to latex.
"Only for the batches of condoms affected by this issue, there could be an increase in the number of condoms that burst during application or use. "
