If you use Kotex tampons, you may want to throw them out. Tampons from the last 2 years are being recalled after reports of them falling apart and even leaving pieces inside you.

The Kotex Sleek Tampons, Regular Absorbency is the only brand under the voluntary  recall. Consumers reported "unraveling and/or coming apart upon removal, and in some cases causing users to seek medical attention to remove tampon pieces left in the body."

Some people have even suffered infections, vaginal irritation, localized vaginal injury, along with other symptoms.
