Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) Warning: TSS is a rare but serious and potentially life-threatening condition caused by bacterial toxins. To reduce risk: use the lowest absorbency necessary for your flow; change your tampon every 3-4 hours; do not use tampons overnight. Consult your doctor before using tampons if TSS warning signs have occurred in the past. Do not flush - wrap used product in tissue and dispose of in the bin.
