Women -- you might want to check the brand of tampons you're using -- if you have them. The F-D-A has recalled Kotex Natural Balance Security Tampons. The recalled tampons were sold at several Wal-mart stores in Texas.  During the manufacturing process, the tampons were contaminated with a bacterium that can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and life-threatening vaginal infections. The F-D-A is urging consumers to stop using the tampons immediately. To find out which specific boxes of tampons are affected, contact the Kotex manufacturer Kimberly-Clark.
