- 20% of all condoms faulty - FDA
- Posted by PaulKing
The FDA began inspecting manufacturing plants and warehouses after sending
a letter April 7 to all U.S. condom suppliers urging them to be
"particularly vigilant" in quality assurance in view of the "urgency"
posed by the AIDS epidemic and sexually transmitted disease fears.
In testing done between early April and Aug. 10, the FDA said, 41 of 204
sample batches of condoms were "violative" of minimum government
standards.
Eleven of 106 American-made condom batches flunked, along with 30 of 98
imported ones, in a test that consisted of filling a condom with water and
examining it for leaks. A total of almost 51,000 condoms was tested, and a
batch failed if four or more condoms in it leaked.
The agency could not say how many individual condoms failed, but the
inspection design indicated a minimum failure of about one condom out of
every 50.

51000 condoms/204 batches = 250 condoms/batch. So 4/250 (1/60th)
or more condoms failed in 1/5th of the batches, and 3/250 (1/80th)
or less failed in the other 4/5ths of the batches.
Your subject line "20% of all condoms faulty - FDA" is so far from
being justified it must be considered not just dishonest, but
profoundly dishonest.

Yeah. One difference between him and me is this: When I call him a
liar, I make the accusation more convincing by showing the evidence.
When he calls me a lier, he makes the accusation more convincing BY
TYPING IT ALL IN CAPS.
