    First Quality’s tampon is sold in Canada under the name Life Brand. First Quality Hygienic is a subsidiary of First Quality Enterprise Inc., based in Great Neck, NY.
    The suit is P&G’s latest attempt to keep private label companies from marketing products with similar packaging or other attributes at its branded products. Other P&G products reportedly being infringed upon by private labelers are Charmin toilet paper, NyQuil cough medicine and Crest toothpaste.
