It is not at all unusual to stick that hairband in your mouth while you are combing your hair into place and getting it ready for the hairband.

This is beyond disgusting, PLEASE beware of anything made in China, check out the hair bands for your babies and grandbabies safety!!!!!

Folks, this is why we have to be careful of buying products in the dollar store!!!!

Be cautious of hair bands at open markets around the city too they are probably from China since they are purchased in bulk very very cheap !!!! Take a good look before buying hair bands in future specially like the following kind? ...

These Hair bands were made from used condoms and threads . This is too disgusting to think about!

BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday

In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said .

'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well .. . . . Threatening the health of local people,' it said .
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said .

'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying . A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 S en (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said ..

Re: Pony Tail Holder Warning - READ IT!!!!!

Oh after I read that I had a sinking feeling because I remember buying some off brand in NC at the Dollar General Store in Banner Elk. So off I go rushing to my bathroom and I still had the package. I flip it over and I swear Candy I could have yep "Made In China". OK off to find scissors for some cutting.

I don't think I was ever so glad to see a standard plain old white rubber band under it. I guess I was lucky but trust me no more - only Goody for me!!!!!
