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

The Tampax Lead Lawsuit in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has its own consumer protection law covering the Tampax false advertising claims. 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 Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania 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)
