  • How did this happen, and why was this not reported 50+ years ago? FDA should be wiped out and reinstalled.
  • @Tmhen
    why wouldn't they list the brands that have metal in them???? Naw, it's ok.
  • @ttpptt
    Then a Dr Jamie ( an expert) comes out and says " I wouldn't freak out, this is just information that you should know....." . What a contradiction????
  • Why wouldn't they list the brands? Basically just don't use any tampon I guess 🙃
  • There has been metals found it cat and dog food and also in chicken in Wal Mart. There is no telling if it is in Wal Mart's chicken, what other foods are in the store. And that doesn't mean that they are the only one with metals in the food. I imagine all of them are in on it.
  • For more perspective: for how many decades do women need menstrual products? For me it was 4 decades that’s a long time to potentially be exposed to toxic metals. Why would there be any toxic metals in tampons? How about pads? Have they been tested? I suppose there is no way to know if there has always been toxic metals in tampons.
  • Is this why so many are getting endometriosis at an early age?
  • @AhJodie
    If we get to the reason of why those metals are in the tampons, then we can get them out.... right? Let's go in that direction.....

    Well now I know why my periods were worse when I used them, and I havent used them in years.
  • @julzee111
    The fact that anyone is downplaying, this is absolute insanity. Are you telling me that there's any acceptable level of heavy metals in goddamn tampons? What is wrong with you people
  • @runits
    metal tampons sounds like a band.
  • Someone is doing this on purpose. How does cotton get contaminated with those types of metals.
  • @Niikki284
    I’ve seen polyester aka plastic listed in the tampon ingredients. There’s lymph nodes in that area of the body which is why I’ve switched to an organic cotton product to avoid the polyester.
