Tampon hygiene horror: mouldy tampon found in packet of Kotex tampons
Added 31 March 2012
A woman was horrified this week to find a mouldy tampon in her box of Kotex applicator tampons, 23 year old Danielle Parr who lives in Texas, USA
After discovering the contaminated tampon Danielle contacted Kotex and posted their response on her blog:
“We understand how distressing it can be to find mold on a product that is used for personal hygiene and apologize for your concern,” reads the alleged message from Kimberly-Clark, the makers of Kotex tampons.
“In instances where it has been found, we conducted tests on the product involved and have found the mold to be a common environmental species that carries no health risk,” the message continues. “The vegetative mold is similar in nature to mold on vegetables or in baked goods.”
The customer service representative who sent the email added that Kotex would be sending vouchers in the mail.
Apparently dissatisfied, Parr posted an update to her original post, addressing Kotex’s response
“Yeah that's real reassuring. I was grossed out in the first place and their response just makes it worse! Seems this is a fairly common problem . . . and that is cause for serious concern.”
Parr, who told ABC News that she bought the box of tampons just a few weeks earlier, added that she would never buy Kotex products again. Her blog post has been viewed more than 300,000 times, and readers' comments suggest they share her sentiment completely:
“Oh yuck!!! I would have expected more of an apology from their letter,” wrote one commenter. “I would be thoroughly disgusted. When you buy a box of new tampons, you expect them to be clean . . . end of story.”
