Samples of Yazz sanitary pads tested by the Ghana Standards Authority have met the acceptable microbiological limits for single-use disposable sanitary towels, according to the product’s manufacturer, Lexta Ghana Limited.
In a statement issued on October 30, 2026, the company said laboratory reports dated October 14, 2026, confirmed that the samples complied with Ghana Standard GS 1248:2019.
"The samples tested recorded microbiological results within the acceptable limits specified under Ghana Standard GS 1248:2019 for single-use disposable sanitary towels," the statement said.
The company explained that it had submitted product samples to the GSA for independent microbiological assessment, including samples associated with consumer complaints and batch samples selected for quality evaluation, as part of its commitment to consumer safety and product quality. While the findings provided reassurance regarding the microbiological quality of the samples examined, the manufacturer acknowledged that the test results might not address all concerns raised by consumers, particularly those relating to comfort and product performance.
It noted that factors such as breathability, design, fit, heat and humidity could influence users’ experiences with sanitary products. The manufacturer said it was reviewing these aspects as part of efforts to improve the design and comfort of its products, acknowledging that climatic conditions, particularly heat and humidity across Africa, can influence individual experiences. "As consumer needs and preferences evolve, so does our commitment to innovation and improvement," the company added.
The statement comes amid consumer concerns about sanitary pads, with questions extending beyond product safety to include comfort and suitability under local climatic conditions. Lexta Ghana encouraged consumers to share their experiences and feedback directly through its dedicated support channels, including a WhatsApp line, email and website, to enable the company to provide timely support and take appropriate steps towards continuous improvement.
