Someone is watching over Danielle Parr, the Texas woman who was about to use this Kotex tampon, unaware of its moldy Swiss cheese center until it accidentally popped out of its applicator.
Aghast, agog and probably a-gag, she contacted the brand's headquarters to report the issue. According to Parr's blog , Kotex reps were not nearly as surprised.
Their initial response: "In instances where it has been found, we conducted tests on the product involved and have found the mold to be a common environmental species that carries no health risk. The vegetative mold is similar in nature to mold on vegetables or in baked goods."
Parr, like any reasonable person, wasn't comforted by the fact that food rots too.
