Wow, this took WAY too long, but a victory is a victory!
GLOBAL VICTORY: Johnson & Johnson Announces it Will Discontinue Talc-Based Baby Powder Globally in 2023!
While continuing to deny any wrong-doing and defending the safety of their product, Johnson and Johnson announces it will start using cornstarch, not talc, in all the baby powder it sells around the world.
“It took tens of thousands of lawsuits and two hundred NGOs to get J&J to finally do the right thing and end the global sale of its toxic talc,” said Janet Nudelman Director of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners Campaign for Safe Cosmetics “It is truly hard to comprehend, what took them so long,” said Nudelman. “And hard not to wonder if the 2023 expected launch of J&J’s new independent consumer company has something to do with the timing of this announcement, given how badly our Campaign has been tarnishing their brand.”
