Do menstrual cups cause endometriosis?
In 2003, Armand Lione, Ph.D., president of Associated Pharmacologists

to revoke the approval for the marketing of menstrual cups because he thought
there was a high likelihood that they caused endometriosis. The FDA disagreed,
writing that there was insufficient evidence. Read the FDA's response, below;
the petition is here.
