The next time?
The next time you buy sanitary pads or tampons, check the labels and see
whether you spot any of the familiar signs stated in this email.
No wonder so many women in the world suffer from cervical cancer and womb
tumors. Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in tampons? Why
would they do this?
Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you’re going to
need to use more.
Why this isnt against the law since asbestos is so dangerous?
Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did not consider
tampons as being ingested, and therefore, didn’t consider them illegal or
dangerous.
This month’s Essence magazine has a small article about this and they
mention two manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The companies are:
Organic Essentials @ 1-800-765-6491 and Terra Femme 1-800-755-0212.

This is a hoax.
In the last six months, unfounded rumors on the Internet have suggested that U.S tampon manufacturers add asbestos to their products to promote excessive menstrual bleeding in order to sell more tampons. FDA has no evidence of asbestos in tampons or any reports regarding increased menstrual bleeding following tampon use.
Before any tampon is marketed in the U.S., FDA reviews its design and materials. Asbestos is not an ingredient in any U.S. brand of tampon, nor is it associated with the fibers used in making tampons. Moreover, tampon manufacturing sites are subject to inspection by FDA to assure that good manufacturing practices are being followed. Therefore, these inspections would likely identify any procedures that would expose tampons products to asbestos. If any tampon product was contaminated with asbestos, it would be as a result of tampering, which is a crime. Thus far, FDA has received no reports of tampering. Anyone having knowledge of tampon tampering is urged to notify FDA or a law enforcement officer.
