The Government is Alerted of Toxic Shock Syndrome Associated with Tampon Use in 1980

While Dr. James K. Todd had identified toxic shock syndrome ("TSS") in children as early as 1978, the syndrome was not brought to the attention of the Center for Disease Control ("CDC") until 1980 when they began receiving reports from health care practitioners and state health departments.[25] Approximately 97 percent of the cases reported involved menstruating women.[26] The potentially fatal disease causes women to experience fever, shock, low blood pressure, skin rashes and liver and kidney abnormalities.

The CDC created a task force to study the phenomenon, which began by drafting a restrictive definition of the new "disease."
