Police seized more than 320,000 used condoms that had been prepared for illegal resale at a Vietnamese factory near Ho Chi Minh City after a raid Saturday.
State news broadcaster VTV reports that a woman believed to be the owner of the Binh Duong province factory was arrested.
VTV footage of the bust showed large bags of the pre-owned prophylactics that reportedly weighed a combined 794 pounds.
Workers at the factory allegedly washed the condoms and reshaped them to be sold again. The owner admitted she received a regular supply of the used condoms from an unidentified man, according to Tuoi Tre News, the state-run newspaper.
All of the condoms weren’t yet labeled or packaged.
Police are trying to track down those involved in the case amid the ongoing investigation, the newspaper reported, according to the Associated Press.
A health official told the paper that recycled condoms pose an extreme health risk to those who use them.
