INDIANAPOLIS — The company that owns Kotex has issued a voluntary recall of its U by Kotex Sleek tampons because of a quality-related defect that could lead to the tampons unraveling and pieces being left behind in the body.

They have also received reports of a small number of infections, irritations, injuries and other symptoms from the tampon's defectiveness.

The recall affects lots of U by Kotex Sleek Tampons, Regular Absorbency that were manufactured prior to October 16, 2018.
