it will no longer sell talcum-based baby powder in the U.S. in Canada after thousands of lawsuits have claimed that the product causes cancer, which the company has denied.... [+]
33,000 bottles of baby powder after federal regulators found trace amounts of asbestos in a single bottle of the product.Johnson & Johnson said demand for its talc-based powder has declined because of “misinformation around the safety of the product and a constant barrage of litigation advertising.” Johnson & Johnson has been sued more than 15,000 times for allegedly failing to inform customers its talcum powder contains asbestos, which causes a form of cancer called mesothelioma.
The company said the decision was made after the coronavirus pandemic forced Johnson & Johnson to prioritize high-demand products in order to make social distancing easier at manufacturing and distribution facilities.Johnson & Johnson has maintained that its products do not contain asbestos, saying in the announcement it “will continue to vigorously defend the product, its safety, and the unfounded allegations against it and the Company in the courtroom.
The whole childhood is coming to an end for the 90s generation. 🥺
Smells good but dangerous.
but they will continue selling in Africa. Wicked people. Discontinue all production since there are claims that it contains asbestos
I guess the lawsuits and payouts were not worth it anymore.
Just use corn starch people! Like your great grand parents did. Gawd!

Finally FFS! So much money spent denying simple facts. Cornstarch is excellent. Why would they keep having people digging crap out of the ground when they had a great alternative? To prove an unprovable point? The business world claims to operate rationally but it doesn't at all.
Good news for Canada but still proceeding after the scandal?!
Good
lol of course they’ll deny it. Bastards
Why Now 😢
I'm thinking I was right about Osama bin Obama.
