Mom, Prepared

If you are a seasoned Mom, Prepared - you already know this. If you are just beginning your journey, you will quickly learn to adopt a bit of the point of view: "Any port in a storm."

This means that we may have items or brands of items in our stockpiles that we might not 'choose to use' on a regular basis.

This is true especially if you use coupons to grow your stores.

So, whether you are brand new, OR have been at this for some time, please go check your items for Kotex brand tampons.

According to Consumer Reports Health, in an article dated November 11, 2011, "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall warning for specific lots of Kotex tampons contaminated with a bacterium that could cause vaginal infections and other health risks."

You can read the full article here.

Please, please.. check your stockpile for any of the products listed in the recall. When removing them, be sure you call Kimberly-Clark for disposal instructions!

"Consumers with the recalled Kotex Natural Balance Security Unscented Tampons should immediately discontinue use of the product and contact Kimberly-Clark's toll-free Consumer Services Division (800-335-6839) to make arrangements for safe disposal of the recalled tampons."
