A young model who lost her leg to toxic shock syndrome and almost died is suing the company that manufactured the Kotex tampons she used - and the grocery stores that sold them - in the hope that her horrifying ordeal will make women become better informed about their risks. Lauren Wasser's lawsuit alleges that the Kimberly-Clark Corporation and grocery stores Kroger and Ralph's are 'negligently, wantonly, recklessly, tortuously, and unlawfully responsible in some manner' for Lauren's hospitalization for TSS in part because the disclaimer on the tampon box was not clear enough, Vice reports.
