Tampon linked toxic shock syndrome study findings
Atlanta AP reports CDC and state health officials in Wisconsin and Utah link tampons to toxic shock syndrome, a serious illness mainly affecting women under 30. Three studies note risk with continuous tampon use during menstruation, though investigators say overall risk is very low and most women need not stop tampon use. The report cites 73 additional cases since May and at least seven deaths, with bacteria involvement and product composition under consideration.

Changes in MVA accident reporting rules take effect July 1
Maryland drivers involved in accidents with property damage must report to the MVA only if death or personal injury occurs and police did not investigate. The new law, Senate Bill 283 from 1980, removes required reporting for most property damage cases while preserving identification requirements and insurer details on registration forms.
