(Grand Rapids, March 26, 2005, 6:01 p.m.) Condoms made here in Michigan are being recalled because they may not work.

Oak Park-based Harmony Brands is recalling it's Lover brand latex condoms. It's also recalling it's B-Sure home pregnancy test kits.

Both products were sold nationally in dollar stores, convenience stores, and other retail outlets.

Harmony Brands says it hasn't received any consumer reports of failure of the products.

The company says consumers who have these unused products should return them for a refund.

The company says consumers who have these unused products should return them for a refund. But....but, how will they get any indication of the extent of the potential failure unless they inspect used ones?

Will the company also be reembursing couples for the nearly half a million dollars it takes to raise a child in the USA?

I wonder if they do a package deal selling the condoms AND the pregnancy test at the same time? Kind of like supersizing the family planning supplies.

Oh right! Like anyone is going to go into the store and say outloud, " I hear there is a recall on these condoms.I'm returning them."

Can you hear it now on the loudspeaker...

"Manager to aisle 4. Customer returning condoms and birth control testing kit that don't work !"
Ha!

"I hear there is a recall on these condoms.I'm returning them."

Followed by "Okay, Mr. Smith, you bought the 24-pack 3 months ago, and you're returning, um, 23. Kind of a slow winter, huh?"

Kramer: Yes. You see? Isn't that better than fighting? Animosity? I mean,
you wanna fight with somebody, you fight with me. Oh, by the way George, you
know those condoms I gave you? They're defective, don't use them.

George: What?

Kramer: Right.

George: Defective?!

Kramer: Defective.

George (attacking Kramer): How could you give me a defective condom?!

Kramer: I didn't even know they were defective.

Jerry gets between them to break up the fight.

Kramer: Didn't even thin you were gonna use them.

George: What do you mean you didn't think I wasn't gonna use them?!

Only if the company gets visitation on weekends and every other holiday, gets regular reports on the kid's academic progress, and the kid takes care of the company in its old age.

Beware of a company who sells you a condom and a home pregnancy test kit.

There is a kind of cosmic balance in a defective condom and a defective EPT kit from the same source.
