A girl posted on her blog that she received this moldy tampon. She then complained and was sent this response.
They respond:
"We understand how distressing it can be to find mold on a product that is used for personal hygiene and apologize for your concern. In instances where it has been found, we conducted tests on the product involved and have found the mold to be a common environmental species that carries no health risk. The vegetative mold is similar in nature to mold on vegetables or in baked goods."
Then they sent her coupons for more Kotex tampons.
