Women who got toxic shock syndrome from a Kotex Sleek tampon in the last two years may have very strong claims in any kotex tampon recall lawsuits.

Kotex’s manufacturer has said that the recall affects regular-absorbency U Kotex Sleek tampons that have been produced between October 7, 2016, and October 16, 2018. These tampons were sold in 3-count, 18-count, and 34-count packages, and were included in Kotext multipacks. To see the affected lot numbers listed on the Kotex recall website, click here.

According to NPR, consumers who purchased Kotex U tampons subject to the recall do not need to return them to the store that they bought them.

According to NPR, numerous customers have complained over the last two years about Kotex U Sleek Tampons unraveling inside them. For example, one Kotex buyer said:

I just removed this tampon and it ripped in half during that process. I was left with half a tampon outside of me and half a tampon (with no cord attached) lodged INSIDE of me. Hopefully, I was able to get it all out and will save you from the details, but in all my 35 years of menstrual experience, I have NEVER had this happen. Menopause can’t come soon enough. Do better, Kotex!
