In November 2007, news emerged from China that some hair bands manufactured there were found to have been made from recycled condoms. The prophylactic hair ties were discovered in Dongguan and Guangzhou, two cities in the province of Guangdong. (The colorful hair bands were believed to have been manufactured in Jinhua, a city in the province of Zhejiang.) The "secret ingredient" came to light when a young woman in Dongguan thought to investigate the hair bands given to her in a local salon after one began to fray, revealing an unexpected color inside."The hair bands are swathed in colorful wool-like materials," said Ms. Chen, the woman who found the condoms. "But a small part came loose when I used the bands to tie my hair up one morning. It looked strange to me because of its different color — not the yellow color we normally see in plastic bands. I peeled deeper and found something that looked like a condom."

Annonimous should check their facts. These hair ties are NOT being shipped out of China, they are sold to hair salons in China cheap.
The author of this article should check their facts as well. These hair ties are NOT used from USED condoms, they are repurposed condoms(condoms that were rejected for their original purpose being used for other products)collected from manufacturers.
