Johnson and Johnson has spent the past 50 years selling their famous talc based baby powder concealing the fact that some of the talc used was contaminated with asbestos. In fact, their internal documents from the early 1970s showing they knew their talc in their baby powder contained “asbestiform”, “fiberform” and “rods” which is actually asbestos. As a result, our law firm has been pursuing justice for victims of mesothelioma and ovarian cancer if their cancers were due to asbestos exposure from J&J Baby Powder.
Now, Johnson & Johnson announced they will finally stop selling their baby powder in the US an Canada. They said they are doing so not because of the recent verdicts against the company holding them liable for these cancers, but rather out of an abundance of caution in light of the recent FDA test that actually found asbestos contamination in samples of baby powder that was purchased from an online retailer.

Johnson & Johnson Stops Selling Talc-Based Baby Powder In U.S. And Canada
For over 40 years and despite our best efforts to educate legislators and congress about the hazards of asbestos, the United States still imports a tremendous amount of asbestos every year. Alan Pickert leads the Asbestos Team at Terrell • Hogan, said “It truly is a horrific tragedy that people continue to develop mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer every day. All we can do is to continue to be successful for our asbestos clients in obtaining the justice and compensation they deserve for their asbestos injuries. If someone develops lung cancer or mesothelioma and they believe they may have been exposed to asbestos, they should call us right away.”
