Mandate Metal Testing in all Tampon Manufacture


Mandate Metal Testing in all Tampon Manufacture
The Issue
How can gender equality ever be reached when brands compromise women’s health to maximise profit? Can you really put a price on the well-being of 1/2 of the population?
Recent studies have exposed alarming levels of dangerous metals in tampons - a product used by millions of women worldwide every month. Regular exposure to such metals poses serious health risks, from skin irritations to more severe conditions such as metal poisoning. Despite these risks, there is currently no legal requirement for tampon manufacturers to test for and report on metal levels in their products. This leaves consumers in the dark about potential dangers and impacts on their health. By mandating metal testing, we can ensure greater transparency and safety in the manufacture of these essential menstrual products. We urge the necessary regulatory bodies to respond to this pressing health concern and impose obligatory testing of metal levels in all tampons. Don't let women's health be compromised. Sign this petition to demand mandatory metal testing in tampon manufacture.
