Tampon Lead Lawsuit
Justice for Women Mislead by Tampon Manufacturers
What is the Tampon Lead Lawsuit?
The tampon lead lawsuit addresses serious concerns about lead contamination in tampons, particularly involving misleading marketing practices. Women who purchased tampons under the belief they were natural, safe, and free from harmful substances may have been misled. Recent studies have revealed that some tampons contain toxic metals, including lead, prompting legal action for economic loss and false advertising. We are actively researching claims on behalf of affected consumers.
Studies on Toxic Metals in Tampons
Recent research has revealed troubling findings regarding toxic metals in tampons:
1. University of California, Berkeley Study: This study uncovered the presence of lead and other harmful metals, such as arsenic, in various tampon brands. This research highlights potential risks associated with these products and underscores the need for further investigation.
2. ScienceDirect Study: This study examined the bioaccessibility of these toxic metals. While the study confirmed the presence of metals in tampons, it noted that more research is required to determine if these metals can leach out and be absorbed by the body. This emphasizes the importance of ongoing research into the potential health impacts of these contaminants.
Affected Brands
The lawsuit includes various brands found to have lead contamination:
- Tampax
- Playtex
- Kotex
- o.b.
- Cora
- Rael
- Seventh Generation

Lawsuit Type
The current lawsuit focuses on economic loss and false advertising. Women who purchased these tampons, believing they were safe and natural, may be entitled to recover the money spent on these products. Our goal is to seek maximum compensation for the duration you used them.
While research is still ongoing to determine if the levels of lead and other metals pose significant health risks, our claims are currently centered on deceptive marketing. Pursuing legal action for economic loss does not bar you from seeking further compensation for injury should future findings reveal health risks. We are fully prepared to pursue personal injury claims should future scientific findings substantiate the associated health risks.
