ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigeria’s drug regulator, NAFDAC, warns the public about counterfeit Kiss condoms circulating in markets nationwide, citing serious sexual and reproductive health risks.
In Public Alert No. 042/2025 released Monday, NAFDAC says the warning follows reports from DKT International Nigeria, the authorised marketer of the brand.
Fake products are detected in markets including Onitsha, Idumota, Trade Fair, Kano, Abuja, Uyo, Gombe and Enugu. “The use of fake condoms poses serious health risks due to poor quality and lack of regulation,” NAFDAC says, warning of breakage, infections and ineffective protection against STIs and pregnancy.
The agency lists packaging differences, noting that genuine products carry proper usage instructions and the Isolo Industrial Layout address, while fake versions appear darker, lack images and display incorrect addresses.
NAFDAC orders intensified surveillance and urges the public to report suspected products via hotline 0800-162-3322 or email.
