Lawsuit Alleges Some Condoms Contain Penis-Shrinking Chemicals

Reuters informs:

“A new lawsuit on September 9 claims that Trojan condoms are not safe because they contain toxic ‘forever chemicals,’ which have been linked to cancer.

In a proposed class action filed in Manhattan federal court, the plaintiff Matthew Goodman said Church & Dwight’s products, advertised as ‘America’s #1 Condom,’ are unfit for their intended purpose because they contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

Goodman said independent lab testing of the Trojan Ultra Thin condoms that he bought at a Manhattan pharmacy found a presence of organic fluorine, which is ‘practically nonexistent’ outside its use in man-made PFAS chemicals.

‘Based on the label, he reasonably believed the product was safe for use on his genitalia,’ the complaint said, referring to Goodman.

‘Had defendant disclosed on the label that the products contained PFAS chemicals, and the harms that can result from contact with PFAS chemicals, he would not have purchased the products, or at the very least, would have only been willing to pay significantly less,’ it added.

In July, the consumer advocacy blog Mamavation said tests, opens new tab of 29 popular condoms and lubricants found several with a possible presence of PFAS, including Trojan Ultra Thin condoms.”

The penis is especially susceptible to absorbing these chemicals into your body.

These PFAS do shrink the penis. This is one more reason why regular medical check-ups and use of erotic amorous continence are preferable.
