FDA Issues Safety Alert Warning Consumers to Avoid Using Johnson’s Baby Powder After Testing Positive for Asbestos
OCTOBER 18, 2019 – Thousands of consumers are blaming Johnson & Johnson for hiding that their product is contaminated with cancer-causing asbestos that led to their development of ovarian cancer.
More than 16,800 lawsuits are currently pending across the country, filed on behalf of patients and their loved ones who developed cancer after using the product for personal use.
And while Johnson and Johnson has been denying their baby powder products contain asbestos, the FDA recently found asbestos in J&J’s baby powder and issued a warning to consumers to avoid using it.
