JOHNSON & JOHNSON RECALLS BABY POWER BECAUSE OF ASBESTOS CONCERNS

Johnson & Johnson announced today it’s initiating a voluntary recall in the United States of its popular Johnson’s Baby Powder because of low levels of asbestos contamination.
The recall, which is limited to one lot of baby powder bottles produced and shipped in the United States last year, comes in response to a US Food and Drug Administration test that found levels of chrysotile asbestos contamination in samples from a bottle purchased online, according to the company.
People with a bottle of Johnson’s Baby Powder from lot #22318RB, which includes 33,000 bottles, are advised to discontinue using the product and can contact the company for a refund.
