The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is sharing findings from an independent review of publications that document studies on contaminants in tampons. The review is also known as an independent, systematic, literature review.
Although limitations were identified in the literature review, as is common, the findings did not identify safety concerns associated with tampon use and contaminant exposure. The FDA continues to recommend FDA-cleared tampons as a safe option for use as a menstrual product.
Additional Evaluations
The FDA continues to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tampons, and an FDA laboratory study of metals in tampon materials is underway. Findings from that study will be shared when they are complete and peer reviewed.
