KOTEX TAMPONS FACE LAWSUIT OVER ALLEGED LEAD CONTAMINATION. (PHOTO).



Kotex tampons face lawsuit over alleged lead contamination

A proposed class action lawsuit filed in federal court in Illinois accuses Kimberly-Clark of selling “U by Kotex Click” tampons containing undisclosed levels of lead. According to the complaint, lab testing found that some tampons exceeded California’s Proposition 65 limit for reproductive toxicity of 0.5 micrograms per day, with certain sizes measuring between 0.437 and 0.560 micrograms per tampon.

The plaintiffs argue that because tampons are used vaginally, the lead could enter the bloodstream directly, raising particular health concerns. The lawsuit seeks to represent U.S. consumers outside California who purchased the tampons, claiming economic injury from the product’s diminished value due to the alleged contamination. Research from the University of California, Berkeley, cited in the suit, found that all 30 tampons tested across 14 brands contained lead or other metals, though regulators note there is no definitive evidence that these levels pose a health risk when used as directed.

Kimberly-Clark maintains that its Kotex products are formulated with safety in mind and prohibit certain substances, including heavy metals. The company has not admitted wrongdoing. Previous related lawsuits, including one dismissed in California in February 2025, faced challenges proving causation and health risk. Plaintiffs will need to show that the lead levels caused harm and that the company knowingly withheld disclosure.

Consumers who use U by Kotex Click tampons are advised to review packaging and purchase records and may consider alternative products if concerned. No recalls or mandated warnings have been issued for Kotex regarding lead. Users experiencing unusual symptoms after tampon use should consult a healthcare provider. The lawsuit highlights increasing attention on ingredient transparency and safety in menstrual products, especially items used internally that bypass normal metabolic filtration.
