This post is an update to an earlier post, here, on supply problems hitting Durex due to a dispute with one of its suppliers.
Whilst Durex did initially state that condom stock remained available, it appears that its other suppliers have not been able to increase supply sufficiently to mitigate the impact of the dispute with TTK. In the UK the NHS has been using alternative products to minimise disruption to services and it is anticipated that other manufacturers (such as Ansell / Pasante) may benefit.
Indications are now strong that the impact on supply is being felt by UK retailers, with reviews of online retailers showing various Durex lines listed as out of stock across numerous different retailers websites. It has been suggested that Reckitt Benckiser and TTK may even be exploring options to exit their joint venture.
