Not many women read the fine print when it comes to tampon packaging so a mother whose teen died from sepsis after using tampons is on a campaign to teach tampon users to read the danger signs of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Young Jemma-Louise Roberts, aged 13, felt unwell while on family holiday. She was wrongly diagnosed with Norovirus, a winter vomiting bug.
