Her legs are amputated after using a common household product – Now she’s warning women everywhere

A California woman named Lauren Wasser is sharing her life story in order to prevent other women to go through the ordeal she has gone through all because of a common product.

Back in 2012, this model went to the hospital because she experienced flu like symptoms that wouldn’t go away. Sadly, once doctors ran tests, they determined that it wasn’t flu that caused Lauren discomfort but toxic shock syndrome caused by bacterial toxins.

It was determined that the cause which led to the infection was a tampon. If left for long hours, tampons can cause this infection which leads to a toxic shock syndrome or TTS.

Sadly, Lauren was in coma for over a week and doctors were forced to amputate her leg because of the infection upon awakening. At the time, she was only 24 years old.

Ever since this tragic event, Lauren made it her goal to raise awareness and fighting a legal battle against Kotex Natural Balance, the brand of tampons that caused her to react so severely.

In a few months, I’m inevitably going to have my other leg amputated. There’s nothing I can do about it. But what I can do is help make sure that this doesn’t happen to others,” Lauren tells The Daily Mail.

“Considering that the vagina is the most absorbent part of a woman’s body and is a gateway to many of our vital organs, it is crucial that consumers know the reality of what could happen to them,” she writes in InStyle.

Following the second amputation, Lauren posed alongside Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, who also had her legs amputated.

Life is about to be so different, again! I’m in great spirits though and ready for my next chapter. ???‍♀️??‍♂️ // photo by my love @camraface,” she wrote in the caption.

We are cheering for Lauren who is determined to live her life to the fullest regardless of the obstacles and the pain she was forced to go through.

”Is He Ok?” Tom Hanks Shocks Fans in New Look — Fans Are Worried

Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, once again proved that they are one of Hollywood’s most iconic and solid couples as they attended a gala in Beverly Hills. Hanks radiated charm and Hollywood glamour, but it was a significant transformation in his look that drew a lot of attention.

The Women’s Cancer Research Fund hosted its prominent annual fundraiser, “An Unforgettable Evening,” at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills.

Among the many celebrities who added their star power to the event were Tom Hanks, 67, and his wife, Rita Wilson, 67, who serve as honorary chairs.

Upon their arrival, the Forrest Gump actor commanded attention before the cameras, accompanied by his wife. He donned an impeccable black ensemble, featuring a crisp white shirt, a striking, black-patterned tie, and coordinating shoes.

Wilson stood beside her husband in a vibrant pinkish-red dress, featuring an off-the-shoulder design and a cinched waist.

Hanks showcased a fresh, short haircut, highlighting his salt-and-pepper hair, but what truly caught everyone’s attention was his mustache—a rare and striking look for him.

But many fans were worried about the star and thought that he didn’t look in the best shape. One person wondered, “Is he OK???” Another observed, “Tom looks a little beat up.” Someone else added, “He’s almost unrecognizable…she must be concerned!”

Another Hollywood icon generating buzz with his new appearance is Tom Cruise. Earlier this year, the star attended a gala event in London, where his look caused quite a stir.
