Chinese Factory Closed for Producing Fake Contraceptives

中国生产假冒避孕药工厂被关闭

Chinese authorities have closed a factory making fake and potentially dangerous birth-control pills. Medical experts said the contraceptives produced in the factory on the southern island province of Hainan were useless in preventing pregnancies and could have caused harm to women taking them.

The factory was also making fake male impotence drugs.

The production of counterfeit and poor-quality medicines has become a serious concern in China.

中国当局关闭了一家生产对人体有潜在危害的假冒避孕药品的工厂。医务专家说，南方岛屿省份海南省的那家工厂生产的避孕药不仅不能避免怀孕，而且可能会对服用这种药的妇女造成危害。

这家工厂还生产假冒的男用壮阳药品。

生产假冒伪劣药品已经成为中国的一个受到严重关注的问题。
