Tampax Tampons Lead Contamination Class Action Lawsuit Filed
By Steve Levine
Published: December 19, 2025
What's the Tampax Tampons Lead Contamination Class Action Lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit alleges certain Tampax tampons may contain lead and that Procter & Gamble did not clearly disclose that information to consumers. The Court has not ruled in favor of either side and Procter & Gamble denies wrongdoing.This page is about a Tampax P&G class action lawsuit that has been filed, not a settlement. That means there is no payout and no claim form available right now because there is no settlement.
Which Tampax Products Are Included in the Class Action Complaint?
The complaint lists the Products as Tampax Pearl tampons and Tampax Pure Cotton Tampons, including (but not limited to) these Tampax Pearl sizes:• Tampax Pearl Light
• Tampax Pearl Regular
• Tampax Pearl Super
• Tampax Pearl Super Plus
• Tampax Pearl Ultra
• Tampax Pure Cotton Tampons
What Evidence is There That the Lead in Tampax Tampons Exists and is Dangerous?
At this stage of the consumer class action there is no court finding that Tampax tampons are unsafe or contain dangerous levels of lead.The class action lawsuit relies primarily on independent laboratory testing cited in the complaint, which allegedly detected trace amounts of lead in certain tampon products. These findings are used by plaintiffs to argue that lead was present at measurable levels and that this information was not clearly disclosed to consumers. Important limitations of the evidence so far:
• The testing results are allegations within a lawsuit, not conclusions reached by a court or regulator.
• There has been no ruling that the detected lead levels exceed FDA limits or established safety thresholds.
• The class action complaint does not claim acute toxicity, but instead focuses on consumer disclosure, labeling, and marketing issues.
• No government agency has issued a recall or safety warning specific to these products based on confirmed dangerous exposure.
It is important to now that the core legal issue claimed in the class action lawsuit is disclosure, not proven harm. The case alleges that trace lead was detected and that consumers were not adequately informed, not that the products have been legally determined to be dangerous or unsafe.

This class action lawsuit is brought as a consumer protection case. The exact legal claims depend on the complaint and jurisdiction, but these cases commonly allege state consumer protection and false advertising theories based on labeling and marketing.Who Might Qualify If There Is a Settlement?
