URobin Danielson usweleke phantse kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo evela kwi-Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), isiphumo esinqabileyo-kodwa esothusayo sokusebenzisa itampon eyoyikisayo amantombazana iminyaka. Ngembeko yakhe (kunye negama), umthetho wokulawula ngcono ishishini lococeko lwabasetyhini kwaphakanyiswa kwangaloo nyaka mnye ukukhusela abasetyhini kwi-TSS nakwezinye iingxaki zempilo. Yakhatywa ngo-1998 kunye namaxesha asibhozo ukususela ngoko, kodwa ibhili likaRobin Danielson ngoku liza kuxoxwa kwiCongress kwakhona. (Kule veki kwiCongress, i-FDA inokuthi iQale ngokubeka iliso kwi-Makeup yakho.)

Kwinto esiyisebenzisa rhoqo ngenyanga, iitamponi kunye neepads aziyonto uninzi lwethu oluyicinga kakhulu-inyani eye yavumela abavelisi ukuba babenesimo sengqondo esifana neso blasé, utshilo uMmeli uCarolyn Maloney (D-NY), Yazisa kwakhona ityala likaRobin Danielson okwesihlandlo seshumi.

"Sifuna uphando olwenziweyo noluzinzileyo lokujongana neenkxalabo zempilo ezingaphendulwanga ngokubhekisele kukhuseleko lweemveliso zempilo yabasetyhini," utshilo uMaloney. RH Reality Check, ingabhekiseli nje ekubulaleni usulelo lwebacteria njengeToxic Shock Syndrome kodwa kunye nemingcipheko emincinci njengeekhemikhali ezisetyenziselwa ukucoca umqhaphu kwiitampon okanye kwiicarcinogens ezinokubakho kwiziqholo. "Abasetyhini baseMelika bachitha ngaphezulu kwe- $ 2 yezigidigidi ngonyaka kwimveliso yezempilo yabasetyhini, kwaye umfazi oqhelekileyo uya kusebenzisa ngaphezulu kweetoni eziyi-16,800 kunye neepads ngexesha lokuphila kwakhe. umngcipheko ezi mveliso zinokubangela abantu basetyhini. " (Kwaye jonga imibuzo eli-13 uneentloni zokuyibuza i-Ob-Gyn yakho.)

Inxalenye yokunqongophala kwedatha kungenxa yokuba iitamponi kunye nezinye iimveliso zococeko zabasetyhini zithathwa njengezixhobo zonyango lomntu kwaye ke azikho phantsi kovavanyo kunye nokongamela kwe-FDA. Okwangoku, abavelisi akudingeki ukuba badwelise izithako, iinkqubo, okanye imichiza esetyenzisiweyo, kwaye akukho mfuneko yokuba benze iingxelo zovavanyo lwangaphakathi esidlangalaleni. Umthetho osaYilwayo kaRobin Danielson uza kufuna ukuba iinkampani zichaze izithako kwaye uya kugunyazisa uvavanyo oluzimeleyo lwazo zonke iimveliso zempilo yabasetyhini nazo zonke iingxelo ezikhoyo esidlangalaleni. UMaloney unethemba lokuba ukudluliswa komthetho oyilwayo kuya kunyanzela iinkampani ukuba zibonakalise ngakumbi kwaye zinike abantu basetyhini iimpendulo malunga nokuba yintoni kanye kanye le sibeka iindawo zethu ezibuthathaka.

Ummeli kaMaloney uthi akakwazi ukuphawula ukuba kutheni umthetho oyilwayo ungapasanga kwiinzame ezilithoba zangaphambili, kodwa uChris Bobel, umongameli woMbutho woPhando ngokuya esikhathini, wabhala kwincwadi yakhe ka-2010 Igazi elitsha: Ubufazi boLuntu lwesiThathu kunye nezoPolitiko zokuya exesheni Ukusilela ukupasa kunokuba "sisiphumo sokungakhathali komzabalazo." Wongeza ukuba abantu banexhala kakhulu malunga neenkampani ngokwazo kunokupasisa umthetho wokujongana nomzi mveliso uphela. Kukwakho neenkxalabo zokunyanzeliswa kwemigaqo eyonyusa ixabiso lezi zinto zisisiseko.

Kodwa esona sizathu sinokuba silula kakhulu kunoko: Kwinqaku lika-2014 kwinqaku Ijenali kaZwelonke, Iofisi kaMaloney ichaze ukuba amadoda ahlala engonwabanga ngokuxoxa ngebhayoloji yabasetyhini, kwaye iCongress ingaphezulu kwamashumi asibhozo eepesenti eyindoda. Babhale ke ukuba "owona mqobo mkhulu kukungafuni kwabameli ukuba baxoze into enokuthi ithathwe njengesihloko esingathandekiyo. Le ayisiyiyo kanye into yokuba abantu bebandla bafuna ukuya phantsi bathethe ngayo."

Kodwa into ecaca gca kwimikhankaso yeendaba zentlalo malunga nexesha, intengiso yeetampon, kunye neencoko zevenkile zokutya kukuba asifuni nje ukuthetha ngayo, thina isidingo ukuthetha ngayo. Yiyo loo nto sinethemba lokuba ixesha leshumi likhubalo! Ngaba uyafuna ukukunceda uqiniseke ngaloo nto? Sayina uxwebhu lwezikhalazo ku Change.org.
