The Tampax Lead Lawsuit in Indiana

Indiana consumers are eligible to participate in the national Tampax lead class action. The primary national class action — Otkina v. Procter & Gamble — is proceeding in the Northern District of Illinois and covers consumers from all 50 states, including Indiana.

Indiana residents who used Tampax Pearl, Tampax Radiant, Tampax Pure Cotton, or other Tampax products may have claims based on:

  • Lead and heavy metal contamination in tampon products
  • False advertising and deceptive marketing of "pure" or "organic" products
  • Failure to warn about known or knowable health risks
  • Physical injury from lead exposure (for those with documented symptoms)
