https://www.rt.com/news/333665-toxic-tampons-shop-recall/Panty liners and tampons produced by an organic brand are being pulled off the shelves by the thousands in France and Canada after traces of glyphosate were detected in the feminine hygiene products.
Glyphosate is an active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup, which is made by agricultural giant Monsanto, so it’s little wonder that it made its way into the cotton-based products.
Although manufacturers claim that only tiny amounts of the pesticide were detected in the sanitary products, a decision was made to call them back from the stores.

Since some feel Russia today isn't a good enough source lets try the Guardian

You can google whether or not there is a recall - it's not a huge secret or anything.
I invite you to apply trace amounts of weed killer to the inside of your genitals, and see if you find that equally funny.
Reminds me of corporate stooges saying they wouldn't have a problem drinking water in a fracking town - while knowing that they will never be in a position to have to do so. 
Monsanto's chemical and GMO crap - and that of its corporate competitors - is everywhere now,
infesting everything. Not just organics or personal products for women, but everything. Drifting deeply into life systems. Gag me with a gallon of glyphosate. Not. 
You are going to fling a dubious attack at a woman of integrity
in a thread about how toxic chemicals are finding their way into women's personal sanitary products?
Please stop. If you have no relevant facts to offer, then at least stop attacking women who do have relevant facts to offer.
Some people seem to think glyphosate is an inconsequential addition to beer and tampons,
and so they are trashing the enterprises that are trying their best to keep toxic crap out of tampons and beer.
Why - one is absolutely forced to ask - are some people trying to hijack this discussion on toxic tampons
and to turn it into a Hippie Punching Party on organics?
What could possibly be the motivation?
For the record (and in sharp contrast with anti-science Glyphosate Deniers) let me state that I think toxic crud like glyphosate has no place in tampons, beer, or anything else that goes into the human body.
Why are you trying to hijack this discussion about about toxic glyphosate in tampons?
You can bet your family's health that if there is glyphosate in the tampons that are striving to be made from organic cotton (which suffers a massive DRIFT problem from chem cotton fields), then there sure as hell is glyphosate in the tampons made from industrial corporate GMO chem cotton that is routinely doused in gallons after gallon of toxic glyphosate.
But then there's something for certain interests to gain by ignoring the toxic tampons,
and instead gleefully trashing organic food and cotton - which routinely
become contaminated with glyphosate being sprayed on adjacent industrial chemical-GMO fields.
