German condom maker in trouble with the law over "21 orgasms" claim

The playful condom company Einhorn is in trouble with the law over their claim that a packet of seven rubbers "corresponds to up to 21 orgasms."

The Berlin-based firm today asked a state court in Duesseldorf to overturn an injunction obtained by rival company Fair Squared which bans Einhorn from printing the claim on its condom packaging.

Lawyers for Einhorn argued that the slogan was obviously a joke but judges indicated they weren't minded to budge, news agency dpa reported.

Presiding Judge Johanna Brueckner-Hofmann said the slogan is "suited to deception" and could tempt people to use the condoms several times. She said "that is why we banned this."
