Nurse Alice shares on NBC what you need to know about the Kotex tampon recall. While some of you may cringe that we're talking about tampons this is a serious matter. No matter how much you despise Auntie Flo, this is one recall you should not ignore. Some Kotex tampons have been recalled after reports that the feminine-care product was unraveling and coming apart inside consumers' bodies.
The recall is limited to specific lots of U by Kotex® Sleek® Tampons, Regular Absorbency, that were manufactured between October 7, 2016 and October 16, 2018 and distributed between October 17, 2016 and October 23, 2018. Consumers can identify this product by looking for specific lot numbers found on the bottom of the package. A full list of recalled lot numbers is available on the U by Kotex® website. Retailers have been alerted to remove the recalled lot numbers from shelves and post a notification in their stores.
