Johnson and Johnson hid findings of asbestos in Baby Powder for decades
- onetimemanytime 8y agoImagine...you buy a respected brand name baby powder and your precious child is exposed to asbestos. Shouldn't the people that knew this be charged with (at least) manslaughter for the deaths /cancers tied to this?
- sjg007 8y agoCriminal charges need to be filed.
- dual_basis 8y agoI'm sure you'd agree that it's reasonable to expect all baby powder to be free of asbestos, not just brand name products. That said, I absolutely understand why you emphasized this aspect, which is a sad sort of point about how we view generic products. I remember a warning came out once about a specific store brand milk, and I remember thinking "well sure, if you buy the store brand milk what do you expect" but this is a totally ridiculous attitude, especially considering that milk (like baby powder) is essentially homogeneous, and often different brands of milk all come from the same farms anyway so, if anything, I'm stupid for not buying the cheapest milk available.
- fordacious 8y agoCrafty. Would have never thought to look in baby powder for a company report of findings.
