In November, the company recalled roughly 1,400 cases of Kotex tampons that were “manufactured with a raw material contaminated with a bacterium, Enterobacter sakazakii, which may cause health risks, including vaginal infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), pelvic inflammatory disease or infections that can be life-threatening,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The health risks of a moldy tampon are less clear, according to Dr. Kimberly Sauchak Gecsi, a gynecologist at UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland.
