§ Ms. RichardsonTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to require manufacturers of tampons to publicise a warning about toxic shock syndrome on the outside of packets.
§ Mr. LeighI have no plans to require manufacturers to put a warning about toxic shock syndrome on the outside of the packet. At the request of Government, manufacturers of tampons have improved the warning label on the outside of the packet and advise women to read and retain the leaflet on safety included in the packet. The leaflet warns the user about the risk of toxic shock syndrome, describes the symptoms and advises her to consult a doctor if they occur.
