Young Chinese woman falls pregnant twice in three months thanks to dodgy condoms

An 18-year-old woman in western China who underwent two abortions in three months has blamed her accidental pregnancies on condoms bought from a local grocery, mainland media reports.

The woman from Chengdu in Sichuan province said she was very confused after becoming pregnant twice as she and her boyfriend had turned to condoms for birth control, according to the West China City Daily.

A close inspection of the packet found that the condoms had been pierced. The woman even questioned boyfriends’ mother if that she might have sabotaged the condoms in the hope of getting grandchildren, which the mother categorically denied.
