⭐ New Jersey is a priority jurisdiction in the Tampax lead litigation with active state-level claims.

The Tampax Lead Lawsuit in New Jersey

New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act is one of the strongest in the country. 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 New Jersey.

New Jersey 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)
