Johnson & Johnson Recalls and Removes Talc-Based Baby Powder

In an effort to avoid the fallout of its recent lawsuits against the company, Johnson &J has recalled and removed all talc-based baby powder from the market. Although the talc-based baby powder is still widely available, the company was never very transparent about its testing procedures. According to a report published by The New York Times in 1975, J&J failed to disclose that five of 17 samples tested had asbestos in them. The study found that the talc mine from which the Baby Powder is sourced was the source of the talc.

Following the findings, the company has stopped selling talc-based baby powder in the United States and Canada. The company continued to sell the product in other markets, including the United Kingdom. But the recalled baby powders are still available in some international markets, and the company is currently investigating the situation. Ultimately, the decision is a matter of consumer safety and the right choice for health.

Asbestos is dangerous for both babies and adults. Despite the risks of asbestos, it is unclear whether J&J products are safe for use today. The company is appealing the recent rulings in most cases and has been awarded $4.7 billion in damages from 22 women. This recent settlement is yet another example of the brand's incompetence. The company is facing an unprecedented lawsuit from a mother in Connecticut.

However, Johnson & Johnson Recalls and Removes Talc-Based BabyPowder has a mixed legal history, and the latest lawsuit has led to a jury awarding $4.7 billion in damages to 22 women. Despite this hefty judgment, the company has won many of these cases and appealed in nearly all of them. While the F.D.A. recommends that consumers stop using the talc-based baby powder from the tainted lot.

In the U.S. and Canada, Johnson & J continues to sell talc-based baby powder. The company has steadfastly defended the safety of its talc-based baby powder. Its legal strategy, however, does not appear to have been as successful as that of the FDA. The lawsuits filed against J&J were largely motivated by the fact that the company was aware of the risk of asbestos contamination, but it did not focus on preventing the sale of the product in the United States.

Despite the mounting evidence that talc-based baby powder is harmful, the company continues to deny any dangers it has caused. A jury awarded a man $117 million, claiming that talc-based Johnson's Baby Powder had caused his mesothelioma. Similarly, a man in New Jersey was awarded an award of over $117 million after he claimed he developed mesothelioma from using the same brand of baby powder.
