Simba’s Brand “Cotton Secret” Sanitary Pads, Allegedly Carcinogenic, Sold $3.33 Billion
Cotton Secret, founded by Xinba and with $465M in sales, faces allegations of health risks. Reports link its sanitary napkins to thyroid cancer in over 30 women, with thiourea, a Group 3 carcinogen, found in samples. Cotton Secret insists its products meet national standards and that internal assessments show no health risks under normal use. Independent testing by regulatory bodies support the company’s claims of adherence to safety standards.
