"Phila. AIDS Office to Replace Condoms That Were Recalled"

Philadelphia Inquirer (12/18/90), P. 2B

Abstract: The Philadelphia Health Department's AIDS Coordinating Office (AAC)) will replace 390,000 recalled Crown condoms with an equal number of Safetex condoms, which the office will distribute to clinics beginning at the end of the month. The AACO has also procured a large shipment of LifeStyle condoms that should be available by early January, to ensure that clients at public health centers and community organizations will have a choice of brands. Safetex officials have personally guaranteed the high quality of the new condoms.
